Since Rosarito is just an hour from the San Diego border, the drought is in full swing here also.  That being said, I can assure you that there's plenty of tap and bottled water available for a normal life.  Hear rumors of a desalination plant being built farther south from here.  I'm not too fond of living in Mexico and surrounding one's self with Americana.  There are many "yanquis" that move down here and cloister themselves in an American colony, condo complex or gated community, then eat an occasional taco and wear a sombrero on holidays.  I don't get it.
By the same token, I never liked it when Mexicans lived for 30 years in the states, never learned the language and hid behind the walls of a barrio.  I found it offensive to just move north for the dollars yet utterly deny the culture.  I've expressed this openly and got accused often of being a "pinche gringo".  In my own country.
"When in Rome....".
If one feels safe in SMA, in some Waspy fortress, having buffalo wings and cheesecake Fedexed in weekly, be my guest.
When expatriating, one must take the good and bad of the new country, as one did in his native land.  Or else you're just window shopping for empty experiences that fail to enrich or edify your humanity.  Have an extraordinary life, if you can.

Definitely like your attitude, I've always wondered why people go somewhere else only to drag the U.S. like a ball and chain behind them. I was actually embarrassed in Peru when people complained about no one speaking English and the food not being like the U.S.
We are going to be in the U.S. briefly then coming back via the Baja. Any advice on the ferry system between La Paz and Mazatlan ? We plan to stop at Rosarito for 2-3 days and look around.
