Posted By: John & Libby It’s Thanksgiving, and we have much to be thankful for …
- Having the support of our family and friends on our crazy decision to move to Mexico just for the hell of it.
- Our trusty ’97 Honda Civic making the Mexico journey without any side trips to the mecanico auto.
- Our cats surviving the long trip and not leaving any permanent marks on us.
- Arriving safely in our final destination, Playa del Carmen.
- The friendliness and warmth with which we’ve been welcomed in Mexico.
- Blue skies, white sand beaches, turquoise sea, green trees and bright sunshine.
- 40ยข tacos al pastor.
- $3.50 mojitos at Babe’s Noodles & Bar.
- The best brownies in the world at Ah Cacao Chocolate Cafe (and an awesome cappuccino too).
- The running track at the soccer stadium.
- NAFTA.
- A U.S. dollar to Mexican peso exchange rate of 10.6 or higher.
- The Italians’ contribution to Playa del Carmen — pizza, pasta, panninis, coffee. Yum!
- The Americans’ contribution to Playa del Carmen; the Walmart should be done any month now.
- Not having a job.
- Being on vacation.
- Spending 24 hours a day, 7 days a week together for the past month and still loving and respecting each other as much as and probably more than ever. Aw shucks.
Happy Thanksgiving!
