Date women from United States / California / Escondido, 74 year old

Date someone special from Escondido, United States. I hope to meet someone healthy, happy and content with who they are. Which describes me pretty much.
I lived in Mexico for half my life and in the U.S. for the other half. I am completely bicultural and bilingual. I love ancient history and archaeology.I have traveled quite a lot and enjoyed it tremendously. I have stayed at home the past two years and enjoyed San Diego. I like to go to Baja quite a bit.It is lively, has lots of beach,and even friends. I do not have pets( I assume there is a reason). I became a widow a year ago. This was my second marriage. I would like to renew an emotional life and find a relationship with someone special. I know he's out there! That is why I am looking. I am a warm and very caring woman. Macho men are not for me, but males are.
I am independent financially and otherwise,and probably too opinionated for some. I love to discuss global issues. My family is very important to me. I am also 77 but hit the wrong key and can't seem to change it...not any different anyway;
I would like someone also warm and caring, with a sense of humor, intelligent, well read ,educated that can converse as well as enjoy a quiet time. I love to have fun, but about camping, for me is not fun..went once and found a rattler under the tent in the morning,,,never again.
I am not interested in younger men nor someone that doesn't live close and the reason for that is that I would like to see the person with whom I could go out, often, so that we can share experiences and get to know each other well. I am not able to be active enough in sports for some of you men that like to ski, run the marathons, etc. ! I have to use walking stick outside my home. If that bothers you then you're missing me. I would enjoy a relationship with a man my age or close to it, with similar interests,but I am not against finding some new ones. Men are the other half of the coin, where is my half?
