Read Gringoes by Charles Portis, about poor American expats in the Yucatan. On my list for Best Things of 2022.

Looks like a nice way to spend a few months. Why suffer the Canadian winter when you don't have to?

We skipped the Upper Peninsula Michigan winter for the first time and came to Saint Augustine. I'm so glad you can leave the country. We'll be praying for you,
