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.

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

"Most goals involve a little dithering. There are obvious failures when, as optimistic as I try to be, I know I have hit a setback."

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.

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

Halloween didn't used to be big in Mexico, but it sure is now. This whole family is in costume, even the dog, who's pulling the cart!

The live flowers decorating the doors in preparation for Day of the Dead are just unbelievably beautiful. I don't know how they keep them looking so lovely for so long.

So, I've had this fantasy: After a book was ready to send on its way, I wanted to take a day to read it through, in hard copy, in a coffee shop. Today and I did, and tomorrow The Turnip House is on its way!

This burro is ready for a wedding party! (It's a pretty easy gig, as far as burro work goes.)

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. ❤😻

So, this is one of the things I love about Mexico. Yes, those are decorative skeletons and, yes, those are real coffins. Everyone decorates for the season. Why should the funeral home be an exception?

So, how is this for a perfect Sunday? Lunch at our hotel, Casa de los Soles, while David Mendoza plays, surrounded by a thousand suns and eating fabulous salmon! I honestly don't know how it gets any better than this!

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