Story Behind The Book

“The odyssey of searching for the perfect place to retire will interest baby boomers and others thinking about the ideal place for their “third age” when pressures for learning and earning no longer dominate decision making. In the tradition of Peter Mayle (A Year in Provence), Frances Mayes (Under the Tuscan Sun),and Barry Golson (Gringos in Paradise), Bob and Pat spent the next two years getting to know “almost 600 new best friends”, adjusting to life on “America’s Riviera,” and trying to restore Casa de Alegría without it becoming Hoyo de Dinero (the pit of money).”
