After reading through many threads I get the impression that many expats are either all type A personalities with little patience for others or they simply want what they left behind. We are looking to retire to the South or Central America area and really like Nica but my concerns are safe areas to live with reasonable cost. I like the Granada area and would prefer to be in an area where there are some expats yet I don't want a rendition of home. If I wanted that then why move? Thanks for any info on expat areas in or around Granada. From North Carolina
