Ah, the beauty and romance of San Miguel! We are all happily settled in our casitas at La Casa Arriba and enjoying the beauty of this magical town. We have a lovely rooftop terrace with a magnificent view of town. We are renting a three casita complex for two months. Doris and Johnny are in La Casita Terraza and John and I are in La Casita Alhambra. La Casita Escondida is for our family and friends who visit.
After the long and grueling bus trip we napped, got refreshed and started our exploring around town. Everything looks much the same with a few new additions. There is now a Starbuck's on one of the corners of the Jardin! We visited our favorite homemade ice cream shop and a few of our favorite restaurants.
The Jardin is the center of activity in town and truly comes alive on the weekends. The Parroquia is the magnificent Catholic (of course) church that is the centerpiece. It is truly a breathtaking structure IMHO. The Mariachis come sing and play music in the evenings and lovers of all ages stroll the pathways of the Jardin. There are families, young people, old people, Mexicans, North Americans and people from around the world who come to visit.
This town has captivated us for 25 years and is always such a delight to come and visit. It refreshes and fills us with total peace and joy because it is such a happy place. It always feels like we've "come home again".
