TROUBLE IN PARADISE

MY LITTLE ITALIAN STYLE VILLA IN PARADISE


I really like this house.  It's just the right size so I don't have too much to clean, but it's still big enough to enjoy.  It's a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom villa a block from the ocean and with a ceiling to floor double window on the beach side.  The only problem is that, for about 3 hours a day, it's really hot when the sun is high and shining into the villa.  It's more than worth the trouble.  It usually happens between 4 and 7 pm, a good time to go walking on the beach.


The title of this post is TROUBLE IN PARADISE so here is the trouble.  This expat community was built on Mexican soil.  The property rights are given to the property owners but many patriots who don't live here inside the community (local Mexicans) are challenging the right for the community to have a private park and private beach and a private swimming pool.  Many of them come here to work on the landscaping and some are hired to clean the houses.  They are envious of the beach and are challenging the decision of the home owners association to keep the community facilities private.  They (the Mexicans that come into the community to work) are saying they have a right to use the pool and the beach and the park as it is part of Mexico and still owned by the country.  

So right now, they are coming in and using the facilities and threatening to call the police if they are kept out of the community.  The security guards can't keep the non-residents out any longer and if they do, they (security) will be arrested.  So far we have not had a problem with them taking a stand.

  The non-residents coming in are respectful of the property and the home owners and they really don't use the beach or the swimming pool.  I hope this continues to be the case. 

From what I've been told, the first time they are denied access, the police will get involved.  Already people are discussing hiring their own private security guards for their estates. 


Recently, I've been back and forth from America and to Mexico and it seems like it'll be that way as I build my business down here.  I've just starting getting my papers together to get my business established down here.  I'll let you know about it as it becomes more solid.  

Well, I'm gonna end the post here.  I just wanted to connect with you, my readers and I hope your summer is going well wherever you are.

I'm still helping Crystal Dennis in her campaign on Go Fund Me.  A new month is beginning and it's a good time to re-share the campaign.  I'm posting a campaign button for you to donate to her campaign.  

We'll be fundraising this month for the campaign, around the neighborhoods.  Please share it with your friends and I'll keep you posted on our fundraising activities.

ADIOS TIL MY NEXT POST!
