Well, December 2025 is gone for a while and we should post a brief update here. We do post almost daily at our Telegram Channel at https://telegram.me/s/RanchoElOjodeAqua and our Mastodon stream at https://mastodon.social/@ranchoelojodeaqua so if you want to check on the weather in our area or other semi-related issues you might bookmark those URL's.
For the editor here it's been now 1.5 years since leaving La Paz at the Baja California Sur peninsula, the residence for 24 years and for sure it is a totally different Mexico here. Still being surprised by the differences in clima and more, by the people. Besides language it's a totally new experience.
The pre-sunrise sky colors are an spectacular visual and easily match the famous La Paz sunset display in terms of color richness. Other experiences are not so gratifying, lot's of those in direct connection that the administration of the 13.6 hectares property was not very thorough during the past 15 years the owner lived in the USA. So the local population, mainly Mazahua people living at the bordering #ElPicacho barrio used the property like public land. Unfortunately with that came also abusive behavior which now is difficult to get rid of.
On the other hand we are happy to meet people like Sr. Cesar, a young entrepreneur, operating Tienda Cesar in San Nicolas.
