Before you come to Mexico you must buy Mexican insurance. In our case, I bought it in Palm Springs. It cost only $199.00USD for 6 months. Technically, insurance isn’t necessary, but if you wind up in an accident, the police come and you don’t have insurance, you’ll go to jail…..

The Trocadero restaurant is only a few short blocks away from where we live. We passed by it many times, had look at the menu and thought we’d like to go there for dinner. The restaurant specializes in tapas and we thought it would be a good way to go.

When I first arrived in Bucerias, some 5 years ago, I was faced with the issue of getting the Internet in my apartment. There were two options, Telmex, with a service similar to ADSL and Telecable, a new service in town. Since Telecable seemed similar to Shaw Cable in Victoria, I opted for that service.
