Livin' (and Loving) in Mexico - Brian Burke - Bog

If you've ever wondered what it's like to live in the beach towns near Merida, particularly Progreso, this latest book by Author Brian Burke will take you there. And to Merida. And finally, to Playa Del Carmen. Along the way, you will meet expats, see them function socially, how they party, use Facebook, (for deeds good and bad), and get a boots-(more likely flip-flops)-on-the-ground view of life in Mexico, through the eyes of Rob and Riley, who tell this story. It's a travel book, it's a comedy, it's a love story written over a background of all the Mexico you might want, from the Yucatan to Quintana Roo, Jalisco (if only for the Tequila Train!), Isla Mujeres, Cozumel, Tulum, and much, much more. The first three chapters cover Progreso, and you will get a true-life feel for living there. The fourth chapter finds grace and humility in the Yucatan, and then takes you to the magic that is Merida. The fifth and sixth chapters uncover a side of Playa Del Carmen that tourists rarely see, and explodes the myth Playa is just 'a tourist town'. The forthcoming chapters will further explore expat life in Playa, a tour of one of Mexico's finest Art Spaces, Le Lotus Rouge, a German expat's contribution to art in practice, the Playa beach bars and restaurants, and life off Fifth Ave. After that, Cozumel! Come join Rob and Riley on their journey, and meet Mexico up close with us. It's the next best thing to being there!
