Here video of the indigenous dancers from last night. They danced from dawn till well after dusk. It was truly spectacular.

And this is what is left on the pavement after the cascarones—eggs filled with confetti—are smashed on everyone's head! Can you even imagine cleaning up such a mess? And yet they do.

There are so many things I love about San Miguel. But tonight I would say I love it because as I walked home from hearing Margaret Atwood speak, I met a duck on the sidewalk—in pearls.

Another house in the neighborhood, decked out for Christmas. I walk by these stately ladies every day and am so grateful their owners take the time to decorate for Christmas!

Peeping in windows, eight days before Christmas!

Getting ready to leave San Miguel and it is raining! Christmas stars and falling rain. It's a particularly beautiful sight.

And the Christmas stars were lit tonight! So beautiful.

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!

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!

Taking my walks at night, getting to see things in different light, from different angles.

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.

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!

It's still a day before the Day of the Dead, but the party is already in full swing!

Preparations are underway! The Day of the Dead is coming.

I was walking and made a cat friend! She didn't want to let me go so I had two passing teenagers take a picture of us. Then all three of us pet the cat until she decided we could leave. ❤😻

Mariachi in front of the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel. Every night. ❤

On my nightly walk. I usually post photos of the bustling downtown scenes, but there is this side of San Miguel too.

The obligatory first night photo. Yes, it's still there.

I don't need to tell you that Halloween is serious business around here!

This house doesn't need to decorate for Halloween. It is Halloween!

There is the moon, shining over the St. Paul University Club. So pretty and such a lovely night!

More Halloween preparations in the neighborhood!

It is our last day in San Miguel and our last chance to hear the mariachi players. But we will be back and we hope they will be waiting for us!.

One last mariachi band before we fly away tomorrow morning. It never gets old. We'll be back. ❤

Just a little fountain in the park on a quiet Thursday night.

Nothing special, just another night in San Miguel. I find myself taking more pictures of ordinary things as it gets closer to the time we leave.
