At seventy-two, leaving your home of fifty years to move to Mexico. Making the decision to grab the brass ring and being terrified. “What if….”
Courage, that’s my mother-in-law. Meet Alice, the newest Torta.
Exploring the pyramids of Palenque, January 2014.
Alice visited Bacalar almost two years ago for a month and made the decision that yes, she would move to live with us in Mexico. None of us expected a two year wait for the green light.
Putting a life in storage.
We are here to pack her things, and hold her hand through a scary, emotional process.
A house full of “collections”.
Alice is downsizing considerably. The rule is, if it fits in the truck you can take it. She has ten plastic bins. When they’re full, we’re done.
Could YOU do it? I’m not sure I could. She can always move back of course. This next year will be a trial period for all of us. An exciting year for sure.

Sounds exciting and yes a bit scary. I’m not sure I’d have the nerve to do it, but just maybe I would, knowing all the love that’s waiting there. Happy trails!
