Our trip to Mazatlan and Queretaro is coming right up! We are going to do our best to interview these cities as potential hometowns – while knowing that a vacation is quite different than actually living somewhere.

Somehow, though, I think we’ll know the place when we see it. When we first saw the property we live on now we had an immediate positive reaction to it – and we knew we wanted to buy it even before we had seen the interior of the house!

When we visited Ajijic several years ago, I knew after a couple of days that it wasn’t a place I could live. There were some wonderful neighborhoods, and we loved the B & B and some of the people we met, but I felt strongly that it was a place that wouldn’t suit me.

So, while some of the features of our new community are black or white, there is a component that is just about how it feels.
