Home Financing in Mexico for Foreigners is finally here!
An initiative between the Mexican and U.S. government has made housing loans available for Americans, Canadians, and British citizens. They can also provide loans for Mexicans that have credit in the United States.
American Home Lending is now offering 10, 15 & 20 year financing for homes, condos, pre-construction, land–home packages, and even loans for those that would like to build that Bed and Breakfast or for those who dream of owning beach–front villas to rent.
Visiting Cozumel for the first time can sometimes be mind boggling. So many shops, so many restaurants, so much to see and do! Where do I start you might ask yourself?
Well most people like to start with some shopping and why not? There are many interesting and unusual things to be found here. It is pretty difficult to decide where to go first. Seems like every couple of steps you take there is someone trying to get you into their shop to look around and hopefully buy something. That's just the way things are when you’re in a place that thrives on tourist business.
One Love, One Heart, Let’s get together and feel alright, Dr. Taco roars back to prominence as the best PlayaReggaeTacoGrill. “Let them have tacos” the rasta cook toasted.
You see there is only one question that we really have to ask. Is there a place for the hopeless sinners that just want a great taco and some reggae tunes?
Yes! Yes! Yes! As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end, Dr. Taco is Back!
Aluxes (ah-loosh'-es) or, in Maya, aluxoob (ah-loosh'-ov,ob) are mysterious beings: so mysterious, in fact, that some people actually question that they are real! But we will forget about silly skeptics for now; they are the unfortunate ones, because to know the alux (ah-loosh') is to know the magic of the ancient Mayan rain forest. Pay careful attention as you read of the alux.
Ireland has its leprechauns, Scandinavia its gnomes, and Europe its trolls and gremlins. But the Yucatecan Maya have aluxes... ancient little "people" of the rain forest who are seldom seen but who are almost always nearby.
Ever thought of moving to Playa and buying a house? We did and that means it must be super easy for you too.
Yeah right! Well it is really kind of… the buying is the easy part; It’s the moving and the fixing up and the changing of your phone and internet and all the other stuff that can bog you down.
Well, it happened to me twice and thus it must be true……..
I got stopped by the coppers not because I was wearing a helmut, but because my passenger was not……… since when was that a rule?
You see, here in Playa del Carmen, a helmet rule went into effect back in March whereby everyone who rides a motorcycle/scooter must where a helmet. So we all went out and bought token helmets to comply. We hate them because they are so hot and being we live in an perpetual oven, who needs to be more hot eh?
Ceviche, you want the best ceviche? Well, you have to travel a few kilometers for it, but it is well worth the trip. Take it from this very sensitive stomached Gringa. This is also coming from a New York Gringa, so I hope you know this expression …. “It’s to die for.”
I have been visiting Akumal for years to enjoy the meals at La Cueva del Pescador. I’m super picky about the seafood I eat and how it is prepared and I had not yet come across a restaurant that has consistently produced great dishes; until La Cueva del Pescador.........
So you’re on vacation in paradise. It’s nice isn’t it? Being able to go on vacation in the Caribbean is a dream for many people.
Those of us that are luckier still, actually live here. I live in Cozumel and feel very fortunate to be able to live and work in a place such as this. It’s really a dream come true for me. It has great people, beautiful weather, and the crystal clear blue sea.
As you well know living at home isn’t exactly like being on vacation. There are issues that must be dealt with and the possibility of the dreaded “legal entanglements” that can sometime arise.
Runaway Models attend opening night bash under the Moon!
by Kid Ghalahad
The Fashion TV (FTV) channel in sponsorship with Blue from American Express and the Fideocomiso invaded Playa del Carmen to kick off their week long activities planned in and around the Riviera Maya.
It was a who’s who of Playa del Carmen as the best trend setters from around the world converged on Playa’s newest and most chic hot spot – The Moon Bar.
Complete with 3 floors of bars, lounges, beautiful people, and even a community Jacuzzi, the models created a buzz in the Paseo del Carmen. It was a Revolution Rock and Playa is still in state of shock..................
