As I’m writing this at our house in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, the house maid laboriously scrubs all horizontal and vertical surfaces in the kitchen and just finished washing the dishes.

  • In the article: The family rents a two-part house for two weeks at a low nightly rate with a maid, shops at markets, orders take-out and walks the compact city.
  • Why it matters: The city is the post’s example of cheap, slow travel in early retirement.
