Today is Monday. We leave at 6:00 am Saturday for San Miguel! The last of the packing is close. The movers come Thursday for the last of the furniture for storage. I was a little down yesterday. It seemed everything was taking too long and the house was filled with too many people picking up stuff or just dropping by to say they will miss us, "We wish you well. We think you are very brave."
We get a shocked expression when we tell them we are moving to San Miguel, yet we've never been to the city. But, we tell them, we have friends who live there and they all love it.
You are very brave, they say, hope you don't lose your head. Yes they think we are crazy to leave the US for such a violent place. The topper: we went to Qdoba last night. The cashier was a Mexican-American named Yolanda. We tried a little Spanish on her and she was shocked to hear us tell her we were moving to Mexico. :)
