Ok . . . I'm settled. Had a good night's sleep and can write a bit now. San Miguel is turning out to be a very interesting place. It is a town with a ton of charm and it is very easy to lose yourself here. A think a lot of people have come here to escape whatever life they were living before. On any given day you can meet artists, writers and hollywood sports agents. They all seem to agree that they have found a secret place . . . I am starting to believe them! I had planned to spend two months here as part of some time off from work. It has been a month and all the planned thinking about life (and my place in it) hasn't happened yet. Too easy to relax. Between the art classes, spanish lessons and the celebrations . . . I'm much too busy. Maybe I will get started in month number two!

A couple words about celebration. San Miguel is known as a town that loves to celebrate . . . anytime, for any reason. Coincidently, September is THE month for events. Every weekend people pour into the jardin (the main square) for fireworks (oh, wait till you hear about the fireworks!) dancing and music.

Have a great day!
