I loved it! by DespistadaIf someone hadn’t pointed out that I’d probably need access to good medical care in my old age, I’d still be thinking of retiring here. It is so beautiful…lots of green unspoiled land. I went horseback riding and to their museum. If you go by bus, be on time, because if you miss yours you’ll be expected to buy another ticket. over 7 years ago |
