Days Two and Three

Josephina prepares guacamole

Day two under our belts and day three well on its way. Tonight we host a fiesta for Dr. Eduardo Romero Hicks and three of his associates who we so good to Sarah and I when we were here two years ago. Josephina has been cooking all day and it looks and smells amazing. Stephanie and Sarah were able to help as well as observe this traditional Mexican cooking.

Traditional Margarita fixins

Sarah and I went out to get some supplies for tonight (including fixings for a traditional Margarita). We picked up a giant piñata for Margo (a surprise). Sarah carried this through San Miguel De Allende to the amusement of the locals. Many children would stop and pet the giant burro piñata.

I did a little photography around town. I am making notes about the light and places I want to return to at different times.  I'll add a few images in the next post just to show the entire trip hasn't been a giant siesta!

Sarah carries our giant piñata through town.

We are starting to wander further into different parts of town.  Sarah and I went to Parque Benito Juarez and also found a great bakery. We had dinner at Harry's New Orleans Bar. Those on my Facebook page saw the 2-for-1 margarita specials. (I had quatro.) The jambalaya and shrimp po' boy were very good. Harry's was quite lively and is a favorite of ex-pats in san Miguel.

While I was there I again mentioned that I would like to come down here for a month next time. I explained how I felt very alive and creative here. Stephanie's response to that was interesting. She said that I loved places that catered to misfits. Citing Key West and New Orleans as other examples, I found it difficult to argue the point. We reached a deal that I could come down for two weeks before she and the girls came down next time.

Not bad for a misfit...
