How ever we all keep trying. I have found that the longer you live here you slow down in trying to describe this place because of the looks you get from people who have no clue what you are talking about. I just tell them that the development has 486 holes of golf in 29 - 9 hole executive courses and 9 Championship courses with 80,000 people in the development. Then I just look at them for a reaction. If they want to know more they will ask questions. If no questions I drop the subject.
I think the challenge is greater than that to adequately describe The Villages. I think it is like explaining microwave energy to a kindergärtner in Greece, if you don't speak Greek.

I am so glad the buffalo have moved. When I would launch on my enthusiatic description of TV to friends, when I got to the buffalo they began to back away from me.
