The Countdown (2011 - February 11)

In 4 days Rick and I will be in Mexico, and we're both in the process of trying to do everything that needs to be done before we leave. There's so many little details.  I've signed up for my Spanish class, and Rick is looking forward to exploring the area even more. It's good to be going back to a place that's familiar to us. We have some friends there, we know where the grocery stores are, what restaurants we like, etc. That way we don't have to spend time figuring things out.

Many people wonder why we like to go to Mexico, and ask us if it's safe there. San Miguel de Allende is in the "ultra plano", which is the high desert. It's in the middle of the country, not easy to get to, and is a magnet for American and Canadian retirees. This will be our fourth year in a row there and although we need to use common sense, we feel quite safe.

This post is an experiment. I've never blogged before, and don't quite know what to expect. I'm hoping that any of our friends and family who would like to read about our adventures and look at some photos will have the opportunity to read my blog. 

That's it for the moment. Will write more later.
