In a sense, I guess I am, but I am single and live alone with my two
beloved cats. I have been married several times, but the marriages
didn't work out for one reason or another. Second wife was killed in
a car crash. You don't have to say you are sorry. She was an
alcoholic with a bi-polar disorder. She almost got me thrown into a
Mexican prison. She tried. We were only married for four months. I
was in Pennsylvania visiting my mother and sister when she was killed
about twenty miles from here - driving drunk as usual. We were
legally separated by this time.
I could have learned Spanish when I first moved here over twenty years
ago; I had the opportunity to go to school, but it was five hours a
day, five days a week for a year, I think, and I thought it sounded
too much like a full-time job. It was the other side of Ensenada and
would have been a long commute, too. I don't like driving in Mexico.
My housekeeper drives for me, but she is only here two days a week. I
didn't know her back then, too.
You really don't need to know Spanish to live around here. Many speak
English, and there is always somebody close by who can translate.
So I have my lonely moments. My housekeeper and I are very close, but
she has a family of her own, and I have to respect that. I don't have
neighbors, either. Not many full-time residents in our community.
