ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
After getting our condo shipshape upon our return to Mexico, we got to spend a little time getting down to the business of everyday living and having some fun: working out, massages, taking Spanish lessons, visits from friends and family, golf, and dining out. All part of Living Chapter 2, right?
Who said retirement was easy? Homeownership is no walk in the park either. While we were in France, we had decided we weren’t going to rent our condo any more. That decision lead to planning improvements and new purchases for our condo in Mexico.
As is customary, we returned from Spain to the Bay Area before we went to Scottsdale for five weeks. In this article, I’ll tell you about the interesting things we did in both places. Spoiler Alert: it involved lots of food. So this article is full of food p*rn. Enjoy.
October in Scottsdale was a big month for medical activities for me. My experience involved several surgeries, crutches, physical therapy, and a significant reduction in pain!
Our (almost) last stop in Europe for 2024 was in Bilbao, Spain. This might seem a little odd to you, but that is where the cheapest airfare back to the States originated from, and there is the Guggenheim Museum.
