Two Perspectives
Last week my friend Steve Lowe, who spends six months here and six months in the States, sent me the following observation:
"I moved to San Miguel because of its beautiful location and its peace-loving people."
Needless to say, we're glad to be here ourselves.
"I am anxious to be home in San Miguel. Our wonderful USA has become far too fast, complicated, broken, adversarial, critical, contentious, racist, controlled, political and dumb."Two days ago, we met a young Mexican waiter who had just moved here from Durango in Northern Mexico, where drug cartels are active. His comment:
"I moved to San Miguel because of its beautiful location and its peace-loving people."
Needless to say, we're glad to be here ourselves.
