Ted’s Excellent Adventure, at least part one, is coming to a close. As you know, if you’ve been following the posts – click link below – Ted recently retired and headed down to Mexico to check it out as a possible retirement destination.
Ted ended up buying a condo. He thinks it will be a good investment. He’s going to have some work done on it, then probably rent it out. He may sell it in a couple of years if the real estate market in Chapala, where it’s located, continues its redhot run.
Property values there have skyrocketed in recent years, according to Ted, due in no small part to the resurgence of Lake Chapala. It had once been nearly drained, but it’s made a comeback. The climate is great, and there’s quite a community of “gringos” like Ted.
So Ted will return stateside and decide his next move. He made some friends I’m sure he’ll keep in touch with, and who will keep in touch with us. Stay tuned.

I want to say thanks for the mention in your blog. It means a lot to me on many levels. For those who haven’t made the connection this is my Son’s blog.
The trip to Mexico was Excellent! I did buy a condo and I’ll keep you posted on how that progresses and there is a lot more to tell you about Mexico.
I also want to thank you for the Guide book; Mexico (Lonely Planet). The pesos came in very handy also. The Mexican Spanish, The Rough Guide, dictionary phrasebook, is getting dog-eared and worn. I used all of the above. I still have the books but the pesos are gone.
Love, Dad
