| Waking up in San Miguel de Allende on Market Day |
 |
| A fat cactus greets me |
 |
| Local shops decked out for the holidays |
 |
| Papel Picados add color to the streets |
 |
| Christmas Pinatas adorn a downtown shop |
 |
| Visual refreshment |
 |
| Street musicians strolling |
 |
| Hat vendor |
 |
| Mariachis mingle |
 |
| Explosions of color in everyday objects |
 |
| Textures for the senses: Wrenches |
 |
| Nail Polish |
 |
| Machetes |
 |
| Electrical cords and plugs |
 |
| Fresh herbs bring spice |
 |
| Bolsas to take it all home |
 |
| Mezcal from Oaxaca |
 |
| Fresh lime from the garden |
 |
| Set the table with salsa |
 |
| Hit the hammock at the end of the day |
We chose San Miguel de Allende six years ago for its combination of climate, culture and the basic warmth of its people. I became interested in the process of becoming an expat and wrote a book based on conversations with 32 Americans and Canadians who had also made the move. It's mainly a way of getting inside their heads. It's called San Miguel de Allende: A Place in the Heart. Here's a link to an excerpt on my website: www.sanmiguelallendebooks.com/aplaceintheheart.html
