Tell me what you years for in Mexico?

I like the emptyness, the mountain people, the long history of making it in a harsh land, the unique plants, the whole bloody mess....

There were/are 3 parts to California. Mexico now has 2 of the parts, Baja California, and Baja California Sur.The US has the 3rd part, Alta California, only we just call it California...Baja means lower, Alta means upper, and Sur means South..

Gringos call the whole thing Baja...It is different in many ways from mainland Mexico....

You either love the place or you hate it. Doesn't seem to be any middle ground....

.....Westy......

first of all I was never disrespectful or did any name calling!

grin·go n. pl., grin·gos. Offensive. Slang. Used as a disparaging term for a foreigner in Latin America, especially an American or English person.

Next I asked questions to learn and understand!

I also express those things I since which appears to resemble a deserted planet!
