San Miguel Mexico

Beautiful city with warm weather and lots of sun during the day. 

I have been here for a couple of weeks now and love the people and the country. The food is beyond words and the colors also. Every where you look is beauty. 
The life a simple life but seem to have all they need. Food is every where You can eat in the markets or on the streets all over the city

Music fills the air and they have so much fun just being in the park near the main church and singing and some time dancing. 

There seems to be something going on all the time here. Every time you turn a corner is a surprise of some sort. The way of life is so very different from the USA. Very slow and the cost of living is so much less 

This time of year there are special days that the people of this country have what is called the Day of the Dead. They gather in their homes and the cemetery on the 1st and 2nd of November and build alters in their homes and go to the cemetery and bring food and play music. The souls of their loved ones return for a night and they share the food brought by family and friends. There is music and items from their loved ones on the alter.
