Somewhere over the rainbow... the sun always shines in Puerto Vallarta.
I recently became a Mexican citizen after residing in Puerto Vallarta with my entire family since 1989. Originally from Victoria B.C. Canada, I am fascinated by media coverage with headlines like "Mexico under Siege" as I enjoy a lifestyle that could be the envy of those who have the time to ponder all of this puffed up misinformation about Mexico.
I am involved in the real estate industry with Prudential Vallarta and have daily conversations with eager property seekers from all over North America, many of them already ex-pat property owners. Our chats seem to always lead to the same exchange, "Can you believe what they are saying about Mexico? Why is the coverage of crime in Mexico so overblown and generalized, with no distinctions between the country's troubled areas and places like Vallarta, which has a lower crime rate than most American cities?"
I don't have the answer to that... Maybe you do?
I am writing these thoughts as I fly to my home town, Victoria BC. To my left is a couple reviewing a file with floor plans and a purchase contract for a condo they just bought in Marina Vallarta. In the row in front of me are two new friends from Chicago who religiously travel to Mexico five times per year as property owners.
Are we all crazy here in Vallarta? Or can we just see through the clouds and experience what is real and true about Vallarta, our place in the sun?
As I fly on to the north of fabulous Banderas Bay, what do I see? Yes... A Rainbow.
