Finding Love, Murals, and Magic in San Miguel
Dear Friends....
Dear Friends, There’s something I didn’t expect to write in this chapter of my life. I found love in San Miguel. What surprised me isn’t just the relationship, It’s the environment that made it possible. San Miguel is filled with people who are open, curious, and deeply engaged in life. While many arrive here as couples, there is also a vibrant community of single men and women, especially in their 50s and 60s, building meaningful, connected lives.I met him at an ecstatic dance class, the kind of experience that feels like Woodstock meets Burning Man on a Sunday morning in a bright studio. People in their 20s through their 80s, dancing freely, laughing, connecting. I’ve heard a lot of couples meet on that dance floor!
Art Everywhere You Turn
I’m still amazed by the quality and scale of the murals, and how little graffiti there is.
Beyond the colonial architecture, San Miguel is layered with murals in every neighborhood. I keep changing my walking routes just to discover new ones.I found Paynal and Elsa’s Cardio Art Walks a free group that leads mural walks three times a week.It’s one of the easiest ways to meet people and see the city differently each time. I’m still amazed by the quality and scale of the murals, and how little graffiti there is.
