So here we are in San Miguel exactly a week after we first packed our bags to leave this city. We’ve made so many wonderful friends here and every day has presented yet another reason for us to stay a little while longer… We’ve had so many memories from our extended stay here from learning how to make mozarella to Unitarian Universalism philosophy from participating in a drum circle to bu
