The view from my Centro Historico home away from home.

11 bedroom, 12 bath with pool. (OK, I only get 1 room, 1 bath)

Own Mazatlan’s premier address and have the ocean and storied Olas Altas Boulevard at your feet. Enjoy sea vistas, city views and sunsets from one of four gracious terraces, or luxuriate in the privacy of the large verdant garden with its 50 square meter swimming pool. Entertain lavishly in the 1500 square foot Sala Grande or the 700 square foot formal living room. Imagine glittering parties around the home’s centerpiece: a breathtaking spiral staircase with a stained glass canopy.

It could be yours for about $800K.

My room ($45/night) is in the same building as Mexican Dental Vacations. The dental work finished. … For now.

All 6 front top teeth are fakes. Five of those new.

LONG TERM GOAL

As you can see, I have a long way to go. But I’m happy my teeth are in better shape than they’ve been since the last time I had dental insurance: 1993.

And I am happy with Mexican Dental Vacation. (details and prices)

Actually, my original dentist Dr. Mackey departed, apparently due to health reasons. Happily, the first time replacement Dr. Hernandez worked out very well. It was an interesting contrast for me. The veteran, American authoritative man contrasted with the young, recently-trained Mexican female. Both were good. But in different ways.

Leave a comment if you want to know more about Mexican dental vacations. I am a big fan.

UPDATE:

Do your homework before you walk into any medical facility:

… numerous complaints about so-called “medical clinics” in the Golden Zone that profess to deal with emergencies. …
