天美麻豆

Hi All.

I retired half a dozen years ago and find I'm tired of life in the north country. I want to move to somewhere warm and friendly where I can do all the things I enjoy doing. Can you help?

I'm planning on moving to somewhere in Latin America next summer and am interested in identifying locations I might expect to be most happy living in. To that end, I wonder if anyone could tell me the name of a city or town (hopefully, there are several) where I would find:

聽 聽1. One or more markets open at least once a week year round where local farmers sell vegetables (like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, kale, spinach) meat and fruit.
聽 聽2. Places where I can safely walk, in a rural or natural rather than an urban setting, for twenty or more kilometers (more than twelve miles) round trip off road (but on the beaten path rather than hacking a trail through the bush.)
聽 聽3. A community where the residents are friendly and sociable, yet will respect my need for privacy.
聽 聽4. A community where I can safely go out on my own for a walk anytime between about 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM, and where my place of residence is unlikely to be invaded if I take reasonable precautions such as locking doors.
聽 聽5. Regulations concerning my staying in the country that are relatively easy and inexpensive to comply with. In particular, the ability to stay for several months as a tourist and then renew tourist status readily for example by paying a hundred dollars or so to take a bus out of the country, stay a few days in a safe community and return rather than a thousand or more to fly to the states, stay there a few days and fly back.
