OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAHere we are on the beach in Puerto Vallarta.

Follow the adventures of a Minnesota couple, Bruce and Mary Kelley, who at the tender ages of 55 & 54 took their jobs and shoved them, running away to Merida, the capital of Yucatan. They had very little dinero and an untested plan that has since evolved out of all recognition. To this point, challenges have worked out in wonderfully unexpected ways allowing Bruce and Mary to forge new lives in a culture they love that has really cheap prices. And now the adventure has renewed itself for Bruce and Mary who, after 4 1/2 years in Merida, have moved to Puerto Vallarta. Stay tuned and learn from their mistakes as this saga begins at the conception of their Mexican dream in the fall of 2007. You will discover that ordinary people, if they dare take the plunge, can thrive in México.

    Hola Siegmar,

    Thanks for the kind words. You have a very nice website yourself. It appears you offer a first class language experience. I will be happy to link to you. Maybe if you get a little business from my readers, we can get a deal? :)

    Cheers!

    Sure we can. But at first it must work!

    My husband and I enjoy reading your blog. Would you mind sharing the name of the place in the photo, “Christmas in Merida”?

    Hola Maritza,

    Thank you for your kind words. The scene of that pix is the second floor balcony of Plaza Serenata, one of our favorite restaurantes. It is on the corner of Calles 60 and 61, overlooking Plaza Grande.

    Cheers!

    We can’t wait to visit again the last week of Dec. Something about plaza grande moves me. Nice piece on Casa Lecanda. I was searching for Roger Gonzalez Escalante and stumbled across your entry. His projects are works of art! Keep sharing your experiences for those of us that can’t retire just yet.

    Cheers!

    Just arrived in Merida. Living in Centro. Like your suggestions regarding small local places. I’m not sure of where they are as far as what barrios but in time I’ll get to know them I guess.

    Your blog is very inspiring. I hope to retire early too, like 20 years from now. Sounds pretty far, but if I can do it sooner, it would be great!

  12. Bruce - May 11, 2013

    Hola Tingting and thanks for your kind words.

    Take it from me, planning is good, but sometimes you can get “planned out” like we did. Finally, we told ourselves that we were just going to take the leap and see how things would work out, figuring that if they didn’t, well, it wouldn’t kill us. Well, we got lucky and they did.

    Buena suerte.

    Cheers!
