San Miguel Is Ex-Patriate Village
:grin Of course San Miguel is a haven for ex-patriates. It has been since the GI bill after WWII allowed servicemen and wives to move down and study with the mere pittance given to pursue their life and interests. If it were not for the Americans in SMA, it would be very slow with an economy that could not support the local population. The number of ex-patriates is rising in SMA, but nothing like the numbers of ex-patriate Mexicans who cross the border to the North to assimilate with America's suggested way of life. If you can afford to live in one of the great Mexican American retirement communities and you can mix with the locals without making the area another MacDonalds laden waste area, than I sulpport the wonderful Baby Boomers Exit...especially when not every born American is particularly happy with how the American lifestyle plays out these days. I lived in SMA for nearly nine years, when I worked as an International Tour Guide. Now that I am heading into the mainstream of retired grey haired Americans, I can't wait to figure out how I can join the good life that I left when I departed from San Miguel nearly 30 years ago. Like my buddy, the late Mr. Jaime Morris, I hope I can add something to the unique setting and life that this little vilge offers the fortunate few Boomers. MMc
