TRAVEL:
RETIREMENT

Our stay at Hotel Posada
Playa Tortuga
After we crossed
the stream where the road was washed out, we were only 10
minutes to the Hotel. www.hotel-posada.com
Mike and Karen checked us in. It was great
to spend time talking about how they came to be here and
how fast the area is growing.
They are among the very first to start to develop this
area. Mike is in the process of adding a large, first
class building for a new reception area, kitchen, bar, and
deluxe rooms. I am very impressed with his approach to
building. He and I have discovered lots of the same
techniques for inexpensive, yet, super strong
construction. He is also building several private homes
for some more Gringos moving to the area. >more
