Life in Baja as a Single Mom

Perhaps it’s the foreign language that intimidates many “would be” visitors of Mexico. Or, it could be the tales from south of the border that keep many from experiencing our sister country. For example, I myself have heard the horror stories; the man and wife who went to Mexico and were never heard from again; the two guys who spent five years in a Mexican jail because a Mexican citizen hit their car; The woman who drank the water in Mexico and nearly died (or she did die, depending on who is telling the story).

So how safe is Mexico? I felt safe enough to venture on the trip alone, but ended up taking Ms. Star Thompson along with me. Star, a twenty-seven year Chula Vista resident, had never been to Rosarito. Her fathers warning of the forbidden country had, to this date, been taken as the word of the almighty himself.
