I have not been to Mexico in so long I am sure it has changed a lot...but in 1979 my buddy and I were thrown in jail in Puerto Escondido for "Public Singing". We paid the fine..which was of course precisely equal to the $ we had on us, and were let go. I hear that area is now very touristy. Some beautiful spots down there. I heard a piece on NPR last week about the increasing number of gringos who are moving to Mexico to live seaside. I guess you have to enter into this arrangement where you "own" your house..but the Mexican gvt. owns the shoreline land itself.
