This is the main sanctuary of the Paroquia. There's not much else to see in the church – the bell towers are off limits and the steeples on the front really just a facade. The rest of the structure is rather bland. The church sits at the east end of the main square of town, the Jardin (hardeen). I'll take some pix of the night life on Jardin tonight. It's an amazing social scene with mariachi bands everywhere and teenagers making out and families enjoying time together.

I tipped for his music, then took the picture. The other way around would mean I paid to take his picture. A smile and a genuine thank you go a long way...





Who lives in a pineapple in San Miguel de Allende...?











I saw this guy at seven A.M. Wednesday morning, and yesterday at 4 P.M., and other classmates have seen him at night. He shuffles around the Jardin, singing/chanting something. My mom can't make out what he's saying, and doubts even the mexicans can understand him. His song has sweet lyrical sound to it.

I wish I has audio equipment down here. even some of the sounds are different. ie. They ring bells for every mass (6am,7am,8am, 3pm, etc...) They ring them half an hour before the mass; ten minutes before (last call); and on the hour. Then there are the clock towers – think a smaller version of Big Ben.

Yep, that's a guy picking up a coin on the Jardin.
