Fourty years in Florida. The tourists move into my neighborhood and the taxes go up again ! Naples Florida is overrun with millionaires who cause the cost of living for the working man to go up daily. The population grows so fast that your friends cannot be found. If you make new friends . . there moving next week. The cops follow you everywhere waiting to catch you making a wrong turn . . .
on and on . . .
There's a small Cafe . . . Somewhere south of the Pueblo called Florida on the north coast. I stoped to have a sandwich, sat down next to several old men having a beer and we talked. A car pulled up and two young men, teenagers got out. The shook hands vigorously with each of the old men and the approache me. Shook my hand saying bon-provecho ! I was astounded that they were so friendly. I asked the cafe owner why . . he said: They must show thier respect to the older folks or they know thier not allowed inside. . . . I left, went back to my care and like a baby I cried with deep surprise. Fourty years living amongst agressive unfriendly people !! . . . . I have a beautiful house in the jungles of Maricao with my wife and 4 cats. We both think we have died and went to heaven. Everyone here in Puerto Rico is just wonderfull to us !!
