Those of you who have read my past articles
have read about the bromide here, a mineral in the volcanic basin of
the lake that evaporates into the air. I call it our Happy Gas. But
unless you live here you may not know about what I call the Hot Babe
Fairy Dust, a phenomenon that occurs at Lake Chapala.
I feel
like living in the Lake Chapala area has kind of taken me back in time.
There’s the obvious fact that it is like stepping back 50-70 years here
regarding the pace, culture and values but that really isn’t what I
mean.
I’m turning 39 on March 8th but I look younger than I did
when we moved back here in 2002. I feel younger now than I did when I
lived in Colorado and I was in my late 20s and early 30s. I’m not the
only one. Many of the people I talk to have had the same experience.
Some people have chalked it up to this being a retirement area so there
are always people older than us. I don’t think that’s it though.
Because there are many young people who live here with their families,
working or as entrepreneurs in businesses, or they have an internet
business that allows them to work anywhere, or they are in the small
percentage of people who came into money or retired very early.
Here’s
what I think: Mexican men love women. And I think that’s the secret to
our youthfulness as women. I’ll get to what makes the men who come here
feel younger in a bit.
