For what it’s worth, the country seems to appeal powerfully to those who want to be left the hell alone. The United States tries to control your every move, thought, and minute. Here in Mexico, unless you break a major law or do something awesomely stupid, the government isn’t much interested in you. This lack of interest is perhaps government’s greatest virtue.



Mexico is a third-world country that is controlled to a significant degree by drug cartels. Damned expensive, but if you can afford it, the U.S. Virgin Islands look pretty good to me.


Evidently, the drug cartels only bother with you if you get in the way of the drug cartels. Something that I have no ambition to do.

As for expense, it depends on your desired standard of living. American dollars buy more in Mexico than they will in Washington D.C.
