Introduction

It is November 2006. My husband and I are newly retired. For the first time in our married life, we are taking an extended vacation. Having enjoyed travels in Mexico, we decide to spend 5 months in a small fishing village in the Yucatan.

The goal was to relax on a beach, immerse ourselves in the culture, try new foods, attempt to learn a few words in another language and be spontaneous. Simply put, we wanted to disconnect from our tiny piece of the world and look at life through a new window. What we did not expect, was a life changing adventure and relocating to a new country.

As a way of keeping in touch with family and friends we kept a daily journal. Each week, we would email excerpts of the journal home; our way of taking everyone along for the ride! The comments that we have received over the years, from our emails, have inspired me to share our story. I am honored by the requests for more stories and especially so, when asked, "What is La Senora doing"?

This blog is our story...............
