Stars and moon and the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel. It's kind of hard to take a bad photo in this town!

It takes a village to get a bride ready for her photo shoot!

Thanksgiving was spent with our charming and generous hosts, Honey and David, and a couple of new friends! So much to be thankful for here in San Miguel. ❤

My husband, Peter, is a member of El Charco Botanical Garden and they had a special open house and showed us "the vault" where they are identifying new plant species and preserving seeds. Very cool!

"Mama does other things, things that Felix does not like. Mama yells when Felix is on the table and—worst of all—Mama gets out the nail clippers and cuts Felix’s beautiful curving claws."

One of my all-time favorites. I think it says pretty much what I need to hear. Don't be afraid to play it loudly!

Here are two of Peter's very best friends. He chats with them almost every day on his way to his hike in El Charco botanical garden!

I had been working long hours and had nothing on hand for lunch. The staff at our wonderful hotel sent up lunch—on the house. And they say there is no free lunch! (Pictured on the table painted by Fabrizio!)

The important thing (in my humble opinion), is to celebrate every step of the way. Today I finished a first draft of a new book and Peter and I went out for lunch—to celebrate!

Some of these puppets are so amazing. (I took a picture of this one while it was temporarily uninhabited!)

This is Alejandro making me a bracelet that says, "No me aguito," which is slang and translates roughly to "I don't bail" or "I'm not shaken." It's a seriously all-purpose expression!

Due to long days writing, my walks are all in the evening lately. This young musician picked such a lonely spot to busk! I gave him 65 pesos. I hope he had a good night.

There are so many doors to love in San Miguel, but this one remains one of my favorite.

Her mama said I could take her picture, and she seemed to like the dress, but she wasn't going for any of that big cheesy smile stuff!

This woman is being photographed with her dog. I snuck in to get a picture. The dog (who looks like a pug) is barely visible due to the marigolds circling her neck! 😆

After a great morning of writing (I wrote 4200 words!) Peter and I went out for a calzone on a rooftop. In the evening, I stumbled into a quinceañera who was kind enough to let me take her picture. Just a perfect day!

I couldn't resist a few more photos from the Day of the Dead. The ofrenda really is an altar to honor the dead, and the policeman really is a police officer who has put on face paint for the occasion!

Just a few pictures from the Day of the Dead. Peter and I did not get in costume. I just wasn't feeling it and we decided to take a year off. But I wandered around town and enjoyed the festivities!

An ofrenda is a traditional altar set for Día de los Muertos. The ofrenda is decorated with personal items, favorite foods, and symbolic objects like photographs, marigolds, and water.
