Why we moved...

Well, here we are in San Miguel de Allende, fresh off the boat from Tiburon, Ca. and a lot of our friends want to know "why?" Why give up the American Dream, even temporarily, to move to a third world country? Especially a country where thousands and thousands of poor people risk death and injury daily to illegally cross the border, traveling north. You almost never hear about gringoes heading south through the Arizona desert, with their iPods and flat-screens slung across their backs, wrapped in old blankets, making their way through cacti and scorpions to reach the promised land south of the border.
