The events that follow are the bounty from which blogs are born. Our first year is spent adjusting and settling. The blog, Yelapa Memo, begins after our return the second season. Be forewarned, all anecdotes bear a sprinkling of creativity; yet always include some thread of truth. We experience warm and friendly people, incredible food and drink, and a physical environment right out of the Nature Channel. To assist those, like us, who consider resettling internationally for a portion of their golden years, I offer a dedicated section "Retiring in Yelapa." The information is generic and applies to re-settling anywhere in the world. Let the adventure begin! Welcome to Yelapa. Bienvenido a Yelapa.
