A very interesting tour. Beautiful beaches, houses, and some high dollar wheels. Even a Planet Fitness. A great place for those in a position to live there. It’s not really different from a lot of places in the world. Opulent surroundings that a majority of people will never get to enjoy.

Thanks. I like your newsletter because you have a way of making a simple truth as clear as it really is, despite our over-saturated and chaotic times.
