A "lost" draft from yesterday, Sabado

The most interesting facet of Mexico , to me, is the near complete lack of "zoning". Unlike the USA, the rich and the poor seem to live side by side.

My big grand rental house backs up to an old man and his wife and a flock of dogs that seem to share the back wall of my house. They have a sizeable garden.  The man and his wife work on either maintaining fishing lines or making fishing nets.


There will be a few hotels and apartments and then another "near vacant" lot with a small shed and a Palapa for outdoor living room. Properties are always fenced. I have no idea what property costs off the Playa. I wonder if the common people are "grandfathered in" . Zicatella was pretty undeveloped 25 years ago. But, the common people clearly LIVE here. They don't drive in to work here. And not all their houses are shacks. Some are quite nice.
