Sunday Jan 3rd San Miguel




Some sun is peeking thru the clouds, a good omen for the weather. Our apt. is truly amazing. It's built over the patio/garage area and roomy at 700 sq ft. Angel is playing on the ipod, always makes me think of my sister Sylvia. You enter our place thru a glass door and walk up a tiled stairs. To the right is our living room/kitchen with the outdoor patio beyond. This room is under a domed brick ceiling. Tiles walls and floor, Terra cotta and white with designs. The over hues are more southwest than Mexican, which we like. Our place is named Los Golondrinas, (the sparrow). Several doors are hand carved. The sun is out in full now, and the air is crystal for miles, a stunning view. A marching band is playing military songs? The church bells are gonging away, can't match this ambiance anywhere. "a place that is likely outside your normal comfort zone. No need to fret, however...the wonders of their cities. And there are wonders." "You are surrounded by entire blocks that exist much as they did in the 17th and 18th centuries."
Tip #1: Don't get a room too close to downtown, unless you love the sound of church bells! It's Sunday morning and they never stop...when does the priest get to sermon?

We hike up the hill to a supermarket and get a ton of food for about $50 us. We are set for a few days at least, even found some soy milk. I've downloaded the first batch of foto's. A few are attached. Off to walk downtown before evening. hugs to all. Dennis
