Unbelievably, the Wall Street Journal contacted me two months ago about writing an article describing life as a retiree living in Oaxaca. This article, hot off the presses, is the result: Retiring in Mexico: A Former Librarian Reflects on 15 Years in Oaxaca.
And, to add a little color to this blog post, here are a few of my old photos that didn’t make the WSJ cut.
The article may come up behind a paywall. Unfortunately, according to the contract I signed, I can’t republish the article here. However, if you have a public library card, you can probably access it through their digital resources link. It is also scheduled to be published in the print edition of the Wall Street Journal on April 15, 2024. I hope you like it!
(ps) If you’re having trouble accessing the online article, people have reported that when the WSJ subscription box pops up, click the X in the subscription box and then scroll down to the article, though, if you use Safari, you might have to change browsers.
