As for the golf cart issue, we were not allowed to drive them for about 3 weeks, then the state government decided they will need to be licensed like a motorcycle but there is not a process in place for that yet, so the police have decided we can use the golf carts on the street again. Be ready for change at any moment while living in Mexico:)<br />TerryHealthy Living and Traveling in Mexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760061835213659852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3700806280772261839.post-3052665707162747062017-07-24T21:45:02.968-05:002017-07-24T21:45:02.968-05:00Great article!

I really related to the party where you and Jon found that time washing dishes to connect. Makes me think how much time we are not focusing on our partners.

I don't know the actual speed of our internet, but we are completely satisfied with it. In fact, it is better than we expected. Have you read my book, "Retirement Before the Age of 59: Healthy Living in Mexico #2"? about our journey to choose to retire in Mexico and where. If you are interested, here is the link to see a free sample on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCMWMJL .

My hubby and I are trying to figure out which part to move too so this has been very helpful.<br /><br />Couple questions for you.<br /><br />Curious, here do you store your RV? And, I thought you said in another post that golf carts were prohibited. Or did I read that from another site? LOL <br /><br />In you area, do you get internet anywhere near 34.7 Mbps download & 5.21 Mbps upload by chance? That is our main criteria for finding a place, having 40's friends and trails for walking/hiking.

I would just rather take mine to be done by the nice ladies at the lavanderia. I can see dishwashers would corrode in our area, as do many electronic things due to the humidity.

Our home, built of concrete block and brick holds the warmth from the daytime pretty well. We just use more blankets on the bed. This is something that varies from area to area in Mexico, I'm sure. <br />Thanks for reading my blog and for your comment.<br />TerryHealthy Living and Traveling in Mexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760061835213659852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3700806280772261839.post-42547919502664435422017-06-28T13:17:06.359-05:002017-06-28T13:17:06.359-05:00Agree with all the above.

Brings me back to my childhood. Here in sunny Durango most everything dries in two hours. In a well-built stone house, at least at this attitude, heat is never a problem. In the cheaply built homes without natural ventilation it is.

We have a washer, but no dryer. We do have fans and air conditioning from May to October- mostly for sleeping at night, and is is set at 27C.
