WE HAVE ARRIVED

San Miguel has never let us down and late last night we arrived – taxied in by the sweetest guy named Freddie who spoke perfect English, complete with slang, which is a pretty amazing feat when you consider he taught himself in just two years – no classes!
We shared Freddie’s taxi with a woman from Argentina, by way of Chili, who married an American and lives in San Miguel. This is not an unusual circumstance here. One of the things I like most about this place is the diversity! And, Alicia, an internationally known Opera singer, ‘sang for her ride,’so we saw our first glimpses of San Miguel as poignant arias filled the taxi.
Just another day in San Miguel. So glad that we’re back.

Nancy,

I thought you said your place there was small and simple. It looks fancy and long to me. Maybe I've been on the farm too long. I'm glad you had a safe trip!

Yeah, hardly a "casita", Mom. Glad you got in safe. Can't believe I am posting a comment on a blog. 80
