Point South Mexico - Real Estate and Lifestyle Magazine

Everyone told us, "Mexico City is cold in the winter!" We went and, wow!  The weather was 75 to 80 degrees every day we were there.  The seven hour bus ride took nine. Well, things happen; we made it safely and checked in to the Best Western Majestic Hotel in the Downtown area. The hotel is beautiful, has nice rooms, and nearby sightseeing.  Exhausted, we had an early supper, wandered around the square, and then called it a night.

It was the big day, the day that I joined my fellow adventurers to go to the Andes and the jungle of the Amazon basin.

In the Miami airport I connected with the diverse and interesting group with whom I would spend the next three weeks. They are my fellow students, Art, Pam, Joyce, Joel, and Bonnie; all of us are in a two year internship in Shamanism.  We were joined by Tom, Mia and Roberta when a flight from Boston came in, on time, with Wendy from England, Ed and Susan, a couple who are consultants for the Nature Conservancy, now stationed in New Guinea, and Christina, a Victoria's Secret model.  Also joining us was another Wendy who would be a co-leader with John and Art, and is a movie producer from San Diego, and Juan Gabriel, our Ecuadorian co-leader who will be able to translate from the Shuar language of the natives of the Amazon.

My wife and I live in here Mexico. We recently returned from a delightful road trip to Southern Mexico. While in Quintana Roo, we decided we might like to take a look at Belize, since it is just across the southern border. We thought there might be opportunities to own land on the shore at a reasonable price. Our border crossing was uneventful (though expensive) and we drove into the town of Corazol, about 20 minutes from the Mexican border. There, we got directions to a new housing development we had been told was selling homes on the beach.

Our good mountain animals, Enrique’s mule and my mare, step brightly, anxious to stretch their legs after several days of rain. Fluffy, fair-weather clouds reach high in the morning sky and it seems a good day to round up stray cattle, check fences, and maybe spot a rogue bull that has been inseminating ranchers’ cows.

Magnificent beaches, a gorgeous bay and swaying palm trees swaying in a winsome tropical breeze are candy to the eye.  An array of charming renovated hotels, new resorts and restaurants offering dining excellence await those searching for a touch of class.
