Hola from San Miguel! Day ONE

We arrived in San Miguel around 3:30, after renting a car from the airport and having a beautiful drive through the back country of Mexico, stopping for a cow once. :) We met our housekeeper, toured around the house, freshened up, and walked around town. This place is UNBELIEVEABLE! There are hidden treasures around every turn in the road, in every corner. The architecture is gorgeous and ancient. we have a wall in our house that is around 300 years old! It's warm and sunny, and people are very friendly. We walked around the Jardin, which is the main area the town was first built around. It has trees, flowers, fountains,and a gazeebo. It sits in front of the church of St. Michael the Archangel, built in 1689. We watched a puppet show in the square, had soup the cook had prepared for us at home, and ended the evening with mass at St. Michael's. When Church was let out, the square was filled with music from a band playing in the gazeebo. Damon and I both commented we felt as if we were in a dream, a very good one! :)
