A place to visit while in Denmark, https://louisiana.dk/en/. Enjoy a big dose of civilization.

We just gave up on the US as 80 years old progressives and moved to Basque Country, France.

I am jealous. We two, too, are progressives in our 80s. We have visited for more than a week in Basque Country and loved every minute. We also ventured westward along the beautiful coastline to Santiago de Compostela and to Fistere. Question: are you on the five year residency visa program renewable for five years?

Hello, I am unaware of a five year visa program. We went through the Long Stay application process, spent three winter months to determine “bad” weather….not bad at all. Searched and found a place to buy. Went back to California, sold the big stuff and all 110v and are here for our oldest years.

Sometimes it’s said that the US healthcare system is broken, but that implies it was “better” at some time. So many poor choices made by US people everyday.

Thank you for that info. The five-year visa is different in some ways. It starts with a financial investment of some sort then after one five-year renewal period, it gives eligility for permanent residency. But at our age, that's irrelevant. The Long Stay is much better for us.

Any tips on replacing Medicare with private health insurance to qualify? BTW, we currently reside in San Diego.

Endorse that.

Bon voyage, old boy...perhaps a side trip to Greenland would be of interest, just to see what all the excitement has been re: trump and "takeover".

Recharge and re-engage, as a busy autumn lies ahead.

Joe Ely last week and Pat Green this week! I don't read the MM *for* the musical selections, but they are outstanding.

in Copenhagen rent a motorscooter and get out into the surrounding areas for a day---actually it's light this time of year almost 24 hours so go anytime
