    Thank you for sharing, I enjoy your videos, especially to see how you manage with the two larger dogs. I have 4 Cane Corso (Italian Mastiffs) and Pitbull. I'm considering retiring in Mexico and would be looking for a place like the one you are living in now, with the large yard. Please continue doing these videos so we can see beautiful Mexico from your lens and point of view. Also, thank you for feeding the pups. I wonder if a dewormer may help her to gain some weight, too.

But then how does one get all their belongings there without driving there. I would love to drive there so I can load up a lot of tools and etc. I’ll think about it. Lot of paperwork for that and a time frame??

    Where I live in the USA, a southern city of 500K, there is a proposed project to build a pedestrian/bicycle suspension bridge over a busy expressway, thereby connecting two parts of town. The reaction in social media has been scathingly negative and completely cynical, which sadly I find to be all too typical. Those who fashion themselves as 'patriots' seem to actually like very little about this great country. My experience after several trips to Mexico is that the people, in general, are not cynical and in fact are quite the opposite. The Mexican people seem proud and optimistic, and believe that strong communities make all things possible. As Mora Margaret points out, their public life is enviable. When people ask what it is that attracts me to Mexico, my response is "I just love being there". I don't know how to explain it other than that.

    • @MoraMargaret
      @MoraMargaret 9 годин тому

      I think you summed it up very well. We are all so tired of cynicism in our everyday lives. I love the U.S. so much and I think it's the greatest country for so many reasons, but it's having a hard time right now.

    Most people in the United States don’t even realize the hum of the tension that is in their environment until they move or spend some time abroad, and they realize that hum of the tension isn’t there. I know what you mean, but I don’t think everybody who lives in the United States knows what you mean unless they have spent some time outside the country.

      Also there are so many “rules” in the United States such as how women over 50 should dress, or what time of year it’s appropriate to wear white or when you are supposed to decorate for Christmas…it’s exhausting.

    You did the right thing by feeding those dogs. I live in Costa Rica and there are so many homeless animals in the streets and it’s really hard to watch. I’ve helped a few animal organizations by being a foster family for some dogs and cats for just a short time and even for a long time because no one else wanted them. Obviously some of them have become mine because we couldn’t find homes. We do what we can, even if we just give them food for one day. We can’t save them all. It’s hard.

    I so agree with you. I find the most difficult thing about living in Mexico is the poor treatment of animals.

    I've traveled a lot of the world and the animal abuse is among the top of the list of hardest things to witness and accept. I keep saying that I think my next chapter involves an off-grid animal sanctuary (mostly dogs), maybe in Mexico (live in CA now). I appreciate your travels and sharing your experiences. Look forward to seeing where you land. And...if you're ever up for a caravan trip (me and my dog), perhaps we could meet for a coffee to see if we'd make good travel buddies. It's a bit rare to find like-minded travelers with dogs in our age range.

    Fortunately there are outposts in the US that are easy to live in. Thankfully I happen to live in one of them. If you happened to see the movie "Ground Hog Day", that's actually my small town. We really do sit on the benches or on a blanket on the lawn in the lovely city square on a summer evening and listen to the city band in the bandstand while eating ice cream served by the lady's auxiliary in the Spring House. 😁 That said, I am hiding out here as a lot of the culture and society in the US is getting surly and down right mean. Outside of my rural county I am not terribly comfortable. I often dream of moving to a quieter country but need to stay close to high level medical care. I envy you your little slice of heaven. Mine is smaller but I think both serve their purpose admirably. Thanks for that wonderful video. Enjoy your new life. You are truly blessed. Give the doggies a hug for me.

    Beautiful and honest video, thank you! I am fully fluent in Spanish and still sometimes feel the longing to be with “my” people. I was surprised you didn’t mention the consumerism of the US, “Buy Buy Buy!”, as that’s what hits me the most when I visit after 2.5 years living in Mexico. Another enormous downside to Mexico for me is the massive littering and contamination of water sources. Really hard to live with that!☹️ I find your videos very enjoyable and real, honest. Very happy for you! Keep up the Spanish learning, it will come…❤️🇲🇽❤️🇲🇽❤️

      Muchas gracias! Good point about the consumerism, you are so right! And the water pollution too. But the last time I was in a big city in the States was Portland, when I went to the Mexican embassy for residency visa, and it was really gross. It far surpassed the visible contamination I've found anywhere in Mexico so far. Thanks for the language encouragement!

      @MoraMargaret I wasn't 100% serious but I was hoping to get your attention. I would love to shoot the breeze with you though. Would you like a pen pal? Everything I said was truthful as far as occupations I would love to shoot the breeze with you.

    Regarding the street dogs... In mexico, the peps do not sterilize animals the same as in the north..... They do not sterilize the humans either....as is done in the north. In mexico, One can notice that there are very few homeless peps & yet a high number of street dogs... Whereas in the state, there is a high number of street people & a low number of street dogs. Every culture has their priorities.
