People live a family-oriented continuity of values and engagement that goes on generation after generation.

Otzcuaro is famous for its celebrations of the Day of the Dead holiday.

And it's a place that seems nearly the opposite of the life that Peter Chadwick had lived in California.

But it was also the perfect place for him to hide in plain sight.

If I went to a chain hotel,

They would photocopy the ID at the cheaper places.

This is right in the middle of Ponce Cuadron.

And that hotel right there is where Peter had his very first place to live.

Come take a look.

Number three.

Okay.

This is where he stayed for a while.

When you come down here, there's no expectation put on you.

An expat is simply an American or a Canadian who has decided to live down here full-time or nearly full-time.

I'm an expat from Minnesota.

I have lived here in Mexico for the past 15 years.

I'm a painter and a writer.

I've written 46 books, including five books on the expat experience.

At this point, Peter just starts changing his name.

He's using fake IDs and further distancing himself from who he was.
