Mexico Dreams: Sinners, Saints and Gringos - Fun Read

This book is available as a free download on Amazon today. Looks like it might be a fun read for my December vacation in Zihua.

Description on Amazon: "México Dreams is the story of two baby-boomers who make their escape to a colonial town in the Sierra Madres – only to find it’s not all mariachis and margaritas. Part travelogue, part inspiration and part soap opera, the story is based on real time blog entries. There’s a lot of sage advice, not only about moving to México – but advice about how to live there without going loco.

And a lot of pointed commentary about gringos behaving badly. No one is spared the poison pen – from the Posers to the Wannabes, the Rescuers to the Sexpats.

Thought-provoking, flippant and sometimes downright funny, it’s a must-read for anyone looking to escape to México. It may not be mariachis and margaritas all the time, but there’s never a dull moment in paradise."

Thanks . Just got it, always looking for free reads!

Sounds like a wonderful read! Thank You

Was that just a one day free?

Today it's $3.99 on Amazon. Free with Kindle Unlimited.

Thanks - I'll look for it. Sounds like a good read.

My wife and I are Kindle junkies, so we got it for zero -- a good price.

This is one of those travel books that winds up being mainly about the author. It's one woman's unfiltered opinions about a move to Mexico she seems to mostly regret. Some of her observations about the quirky ex-pats she encountered had me laughing, for sure. But she's definitely a quirky ex-pat herself.

Agreed!

Just finished Angie Nicholson's book. At the risk of revealing the ending: they didn't like San Miguel as a place to live; a comment I've heard from a number of people. The town sounds quite attractive, however, and we'd like to visit. It's said that one should live in a new place for some time before buying or building there. We didn't. After about half a dozen visits to Zihua we decided to build and haven't regretted it for one second. We love it and can't wait until our next stay in January.
