If you really want to do something, you’ll find a
way.
If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.

“The American society is rapidly undergoing changes, which are too fast for some…”
To escape poverty;
“The rich are growing richer and the poor are striving night and day to prevent growing poorer;”
To escape Big Government;
“Popular government is becoming a
mystery too metaphysical for ordinary brains;”
To escape
climate change and global warming; “Even old Earth is becoming demoralized, and neither her storms or the intensity of her frigidity in the north any longer reliable;”
To escape the illness and disease;
“This place offers a sovereign remedy…
for any disease which the doctors cannot cure;”
Or, to escape one’s past;
“If in whose house, politically or literally, there may be a skeleton of any kind which they wish to get away from.”

When was
this written?
1874
by Claude L. Goodrich, a realtor trying to convince people to move to his newly
found Tropical Paradise…
Which part
of the planet did this refer to?
Cozumel,
Mexico
Seemingly
not much has changed since 1874 and present day - - -
Will have
more to say on the history of Cozumel later.
For now, a few pictures.
