That is very neat that you live there assuming that you are a American like I am assuming you are and if that is the correct assumption where do you live in south America? I was thinking of buying a property in Mexico City but then I went there and it is a little too Americanized where I was looking so I kept on looking and it was a little too impoverished to feel comfortable both in terms of safety and in terms of not speaking any sort of Spanish very accurately so I am looking at coastal and mountain types of places further south passed Mexico so where are you and how do you like it?
A bit south of Mexico, like Brazil.
I live in the San Diego of Brazil (or so I imagine San Diego being). Sunny and about 85 to 90 year round. A potential rainy season from March to June but not that bad.
It would be problematic because of the language issues (Portuguese, not Spanish). There really aren't a lot of areas that can be considered English-speaking communities.
Like most South American countries, there is more crime than there is in the US in general (the type that people are robbing to earn their livelihood, not the U.S. type where there is crime because you are different than someone else).
Being so big, Brazil will probably have the type of living that people want somewhere but not everywhere. I believe that southern Brazil might have much more English-speaking people and somewhat cooler temperatures, but never Chicago winter type of weather.
