And I am a recent widow. But to make a long story short, my brother has been visiting San Miguel de Allende for the last 27 years. I have visited 4 times, and FELL IN LOVE WITH SAN MIGUEL, the very first time I was there. My brother was there for the month of March and found out about your Documentary and has bought one. I saw it and cried ALL THE WAY thru it. It was so PERFECT and it related my feelings fully. I had always told my husband that we were going to retire there, but my husband passed away at the age of 61. But, I have not given up my dream of going to San Miguel for at least 6 months of the year. My son is having a fit, but I KNOW that is the only place I will find myself again. I have told my family it is the only place I will be able to find peace on my heart!!!!! THE VERY MOMENT I get off the plane in Leon, I feel San Miguel gathering me up in a ” soft peaceful blanket” and calling me to ” come on home to where I belong.” I hope this does not sound real silly. It is just how I feel. I feel safer in San Miguel than I do here. I have read many, many books on retiring to San Miguel and know there are other widows or single women living there and doing fine. I know a few people there already and would like to volenteer and in some of the things that” expats” do there. I am also sort of an “artist”. Well this old southern woman did not make this short, didI?!?!? When I do get down there I would hope we could met and talk a little. THANK YOU FOR GETTING OTHERS AND YOURSELF TO PUT INTO WORDS WHAT SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE MEANS TO THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sincerely, Ann Mahaffey granann7@bellsouth.net Caren,
