Friday 12.21 San Miguel

The people are so beautful, warm and kind. everyone has been open and friendly. (mysteriously some dont want their pictures taken... so, you wont see those people. some others aren´t exactly asked so they are implicitly granting their permission.)
around the church you can find some people asking for a helping hand. i dont think they have welfare or social security here.
the burros - donkeys with wood walked up the street just outside my hotel door yesterday about 5pm. i was just stepping into the doorway when they turned the corner and i caught this shot. then the little girl wagon train driver insisted i owed her money for the photo writes to her ass... OK. no problem-o. i´ll pay my way.
a shot of the famous Aztec soup. its to die for. that´s a jalapeno on top for some flavor, or you can remove it to your own taste. (i took a bite of it and it´s pretty spicey)
Merry Xmas to all. i´ll try to write more later. got a very VERY late start today. Ruth invited me to attend her Tango lessons this morning at 11:30, so i ´worked´on the computer till then. now i´m meeting up with Alex and Janet who i met at breakfast. they are here from new zealand looking to buy a place. i invited myself house shopping with them in hopes of getting inside some of these old walls and seeing what a $million US will buy these days. he´s a banker and she´s a mom.

Happy Holiday. xo skip
