Rent a cart and as you encounter people, don't hesitate to introduce yourself and ask questions. Try the following for starters...
- Do you own a house or villa here?
- How long have you lived here?
- What do you like best about The Villages?
- Is there anything you don't like about living here?
I predict you'll get a long list on the third question, with a lot of variety in the answers. But I'd also guess that most people you talk to will have a tough time with the fourth question.
Have fun and get out there among us!
