An opportunity quickly became a long friendship with the homeowner and myself in San Miguel de Allende,Mexico. I answered a request, and stayed 6 weeks while the homeowner went to Africa. I fell in love with mexico, loved her three pets, and met many expats who live full time in Mexico. I went back to do a second stay at the same home ownder's casa. I can't say enough about the joy of connecting. House sitting opened a new adventure for me. I am grateful.
