I currently live and work in Cairo, Egypt and plan to relocate to La Paz in 2007. You can email me at kate47@gmail.com

For inspiration and courage to face the remodeling, my sincere gratitude to Ing. Martin Velázquez Estrada for his professionalism and incredible patience, to Bev for bringing us together, and to Rolly Brook for his marvelously detailed website that helped me to blend words, images, and concepts.

For real estate, financial, and legal matters, máximas gracias to Aldo Salato of Casa La Paz and to his associate Mónica, with whom nothing seems impossible.

Wiley and Carol, the first fellow US citizens I met in La Paz, took me under their wing and into their home. Initial impressions are lasting, and I hope to share and return their fine hospitality for years to come.

Fine folks on the BajaNomad and MexicoConnect forums have helped more than they will ever know, as have numerous authors of books and articles on the country and the peninsula.

Cairo colleagues Dan and Conchíta encouraged me to "choose México" when even I thought it was probably an impulsive lamebrained idea.

To all Paceños, who make each day there a joy, thank you so much.
