Somewhere on the outskirts of Lima, we've been talking rather seriously about moving where the cost of living won't eat up our retirement savings. We have researched how much retirement funds we need to move to Peru easily. I guess the country likes retired Americans that have a healthy savings account. I also have friends that live in the city of Lima from Europe and they love Peru. There is a very nice Dzogchen community which are students of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, he is also one of my Buddhist teachers. http://melong.com/chogyal-namkhai-norbu-in-peru/

I grew up in on the Cascade Range of Oregon, way in the backwoods on a little hill farm with an outhouse when I was younger and iffy electricity...hahaha so South American adventures sounds like it may bring back childhood memories.
