I fell so in love with Mexico that I decided to move there for nearly five months. I stayed in Puerto Peñasco with my dog Teddy Bear in a condo minutes from the beach and city center. I worked as a bartender at a beach resort where I had the opportunity to meet endless travelers and bonded with the local staff.
The food scene was fantastic and seeing the fisherman in action and then watching the fresh dishes come to life at the resort was quite the experience. My favorite thing to eat was oysters. Be sure to have them at Wrecked at the Reef when visiting Puerto Peñasco aka Rocky Point.
If you are a golfer be sure to make a tee time at The Links at Las Palomas Beach & Golf Resort. Visit the Malecon for lunch and shopping during the day and music and entertainment at night.

Gates to the Chateau's Entrance
There’s your everyday châteaux and then there’s Château de Fontainebleau. The medieval palace was once home to Napoleon. And it’s another level of luxe. With Cafes, Shopping, medieval stature, and grand surrounding ponds, Chateau Fontainebleu took my breath away while strolling the cobble stone roads.
The Château de Fontainebleau is a historic palace located in the town of Fontainebleau, France, about 55 kilometers (34 miles) southeast of Paris. It is one of the largest royal châteaux in France and has served as a residence for French monarchs from the 12th century until the Second Empire. The château is renowned for its exquisite architecture, expansive gardens, and rich history.The history of the Château de Fontainebleau dates back to the 12th century when a hunting lodge was built on the site. Over the centuries, subsequent kings and queens expanded and transformed the original structure into a magnificent palace. Notable monarchs who contributed to its development include King Louis IX, King Francis I, King Henry IV, and Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. One of the key features of the château is its architectural blend of various styles, including Gothic, Renaissance, and classical. This fusion of architectural elements gives Fontainebleau its unique character.
