When I went to Palo Alto to visit my proposed new place of employment I found that if I took everything we got for our house and made that a down payment, paid per month what we paid on the mortgage PLUS every dime I got in cost of living differential we could get a small 2 bedroom house on a lot so small that you could hear the neighbor fart. I really like Palo Alto. We spent a few days at Dinah's motel - lovely place and drove up and down the west coast. Of course it is FAR too expensive a place to live but we don't need to live anywhare in particular, we just prefer a bit of wamth on the old bones. The winters in the UK, though relatively mild, are quite depressing. Ian |
