I’m sitting here in Mexico in a big beautiful house we rented for six weeks. When we rented the place, we had four weeks’ worth of confirmed guests who were planning to visit here. It was going to be a great experience, spending quality time with some of our closest friends.
Then the world went crazy over swine flu.
Some friends may still have made it, except that the Mexican government recently announced they were closing all nonessential private businesses (including restaurants). Now my wife and I are in a strange town for the next month with not much to do, no visitors coming, and few ways to make new friends. What are we going to do?
