Whew! I just cold called a lady in Mexico and between her English and my Spanish, we made sense of what I wanted and worked out a deal of sorts for a two-bedroom apartment on Isla Piedra (Stone Island) near Mazatlan.

I’ll be paying 5,500 pesos per month, which is about 450CAD. I have seen pictures, but don’t have permission to share them, so you’ll have to wait till I get there. 🙂

Reader Contessa is the one who told me about the apartment. THANK YOU. I am super happy — the place is fairly new, right near the beach, in a non-gringo community, HUGE, and the price is right. We haven’t sorted out internet, but I will have a mobile plan to tide me over.

I’m expected around November 5th. I promised to touch base with her at the end of October when I have a better idea of what date I’m arriving, and then when I’m in MX so she can meet me and show me where the place is.

Wow, this is really starting to feel real!
