YES!! OMG I forget that Poblado and Laureles has US food, I should have known from all the expats in the FB group asking for ¨where can I get a good American food¨ haha, and all the new shops popping up! The car thing, I never understood either, even in the countryside it is easy to get around!! I just call a moto taxi, and why would I stress of driving a car here, or paying for it!

I don´t think I have paid gringo prices since 2018 when I first got here! Yep.. I need to step up my Spanish.. but these campesinos speak a whole other level!

I love the food here too... most gringos complain how bland it is, the other day at Ceiba (the good pastry place) I had a pastel de pollo with spicy sauce, and I thought my lips were on fire!!! Most just don´t know where to get good food!

The politics...ugh.. I never even go there, I give them a blank stare when they ask me about that! haha

aahhhhh.. how lucky we are!
