In reply to Donna Meyer. I believe I get what you're saying. I've had a similar experience in a few places. Valen speaks similarly of SMA. Makes me look forward to arriving even more! Looking forward to meeting soon!

So glad you are looking to join us here in our central Mexican paradise, Talon! I am here for many of the same reasons you pointed out in the post, but the real, true reason is that I simply fell in love with San Miguel quite literally at first sight, looking out a bus window as it drove into town 25 years ago. I lived here 10 years then, moved back to the States for 13, then moved back home to San Miguel three years ago. I travel, I roam and wander, but I am always glad to come home to my personal Mexican paradise. Yes, the food, the weather, the color, the history, the convenient location all count for a lot. But it is the spirit of San Miguel that has really stolen my heart and won’t let go. Easy to feel, hard to describe, even for a writer. I hope you will feel it too and I really look forward to sharing a drink with you soon after you arrive. Nos vemos muy pronto!

In reply to Steph (@ 20 Years Hence). We tried to like PdC, but it just didn't do it for us. I can see why some people like it there, though. We had a great time when some bloggers came through and were there for a while. How long do you think you'll be there?

In reply to Lorena. Yeah each side has its pros and cons, but when you have kids it's a lot nicer when you can find others who share your language and culture. Especially when your child doesn't speak the local language. There are things I really like about the Yucatan. If it was just easier to move around Mexico!

In reply to Valen-This Way To Paradise. Me, too! Even if SMA isn't "home" for us, we'll have a blast while we're there. :D

In reply to Ryan. Come on up! ;) We shall see. It would be nice living closer to the ocean, but we just aren't fans of the humid heat.

In reply to Eric Wichner. I looked at GTO, but we wanted something a bit smaller and with more expat families. I plan on checking it out while we're in SMA, though, as it looked like a city we might enjoy.

You and Valen are making this place sound pretty amazing. Maybe I’ll have to come visit while you’re there….
