More scenes around SMA - a picture everywhere you turn! Pretty girl at the bazaar at the library.
Mike and Gil waiting for the girls. Aurelie and Alexa together, wonderful sisters and a joy to be with.
La Parroquia is the most prominent landmark in town. It looms over the Jardin, the center and heart of San Migel and can be seen from miles away. The name denotes a parish church and its construction was started in 1683. However, the facade was installed in 1880 by a local stone mason and builder, Ceferino Gutierrez, who reportedly took his inspiration from postcard images of European churches. Pink and tan-colored stone was used and the light can change the color from light tan to rosy pink. It is a beautiful sight at night when lit on special occasions which seems to be on most days!
The church (St. Michael the Archangel) contains murals and a crypt in the basement where former President Bustamante is buried.
Friday, February 24, we dined at Hecho en Mexico with Peter and Marissa where we'd hoped to enjoy local musicians, but unfortunately they suffered a very bad accident and were unable to perform. Luckily, they are not seriously hurt. We'll hope to enjoy their music at a later date.
Saturday, February 25, was moving day for Aurelie and Ron and they were helped by Nikolasa and her son Guillermo. Nikolasa was our lovely maid at the former casita and we miss her very much.
We are also going to miss Alexa and Gil who returned to California today. They have been such fun to be with and greatly added to our enjoyment. We hope to see them again soon.
