I'm a retired Chicago school teacher, with a BA from the University of Illinois in Chicago, and Jim is the master mechanic/ technician at a popular golf course outside of Chicago. he has 2 sons, I have 3.
Jim grew in Park Ridge, Illinois and then on Bangs Lake in Wauconda, Illinois. I grew up on the north side of Chicago near the lake and Lincoln Park. We both needed to get back to the water, so why not the Pacific?
( By the way, we are extreme Cub and Blackhawk fans trying desperately to get a hockey/sports channel in our Huatulco condo.)
We bought this condo for a safe, beautiful place for our families to enjoy year round. We researched quality of environment, climate, safety, engineering, and found that this area was the best and safest place for our families to vacation. We even dared to experience the rainy season and the locals were right. There is still sun everyday.( Rain is later in the day or at night from June through September. The rainy season in summer is spectacular, too, with the lush gardens, green mountains and warm ocean waters.)
We were adamant about a seaweed free, friendly swimmable beach and a safe city as all our sons are risk takers and tend to venture out and explore. I had no qualms about them heading out at night, by taxi, to listen to local musicians in town or taking a full moon river trip. They loved being able to swim and snorkel everyday, enjoy numerous ethnic restaurants with fresh seafood and vegetables, and a new luxurious condo. With convenient, inexpensive transportation and friendly people. "Everything's better in Huatulco. "
