Sunday Jan 3rd San Miguel

Hola, it's almost noon, and I believe the sun is coming out...oh joy. The morning has been very cold, we only have a small space heater in only our bedroom. We crank it up at 5 a.m. and later use a fan to distribute a tiny bit into the kitchen/living space. But the massive concrete walls and Mexican tiled floor give up their stored cold with a death like grip. We layer up big time. I know it's this cold in Miami too.
The last few days have been fun. Friday we had a lovely late lunch with a neighbor, Susan and her friend Signa. Both are former NY folks who have come to San Miguel to live. Susan full time, Signa every so often. Delightful eating, enchiladas, Mexican rice, brownies. And wonderful conversation as we told our stories and got to know each other. We stayed till 6pm, but wanted a little break before our live show. And what a show it was. A fusion of flamenco and aerial (the art that our granddaughter Davan is so involved with). Starting with a man hanging from chains, not soft ropes, we knew we were in for an interesting evening. Riveting images and live music to boot, all for only $15/per. What a treat. If the Antel Flamenco Co. comes to your town, GO, we loved it.
Saturday, was spent walking new areas away from the main square. Found the fine arts center in some sort of old public works building that is fascinating by itself. Also hit a open house at a new condo development. You can rent, or own, very nice places. Hit a neighborhood taco stand, and even tried some green beans we see the locals eat. They tell us they're garbanzo beans, they sprinkle chili power and lime juice on them. It takes a little practice to remove the husk and spit it out, but they are an OK snack. Caught some free music at a church wedding on our way back home. All in all a perfect day in San Miguel, oh and the sun came out too!
