About
Caren Cross was a successful professional. She had two wonderful children and a comfortable lifestyle. But after 30 years of pursuing the American dream, she felt compelled to leave it all behind and start a new life in Mexico. Thousands of Americans have inexplicably made the same choice to relocate to the town of San Miguel de Allende. Lost and Found in Mexico is their story.
Caren,
I am from Birmingham, AL. 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
