As most of you know, we feel so fortunate to have the exceptional crew that we bring from Mexico on H2B visas.  I thought it was time to let you know about their homes.  Their town St Miguel de Allende, has been featured three different times in the Washington Post because of its charm and opportunities.

This is a lovely spot tucked away with lake and mountain vistas.  It has fabulous architecture, and is known as a center for buying art and for taking weeklong lessons in the applied arts.  It is a draw for tourists from around the world and a haven for ex- pats.

Most all of our crew lives there on small farms that neighbor each other.  A few of them also have small houses in the city and are acquiring more land as they are able.

Don’t think I have not had more than one conversation with my guys about moving there when I am 70 and working for Americans in a new landscaping business!
