Daniel here. The doors in San Miguel de Allende are beautiful. It is another example of how people personalize their homes here. One fun aspect of the doors is the door knockers. We have seen many fun examples of door knockers already in this city. Here are a few:
Another thing that's ubiquitous here is trumpets. I am listening to a brass band playing across the street on the plaza as I write this. Another band marched in a small church parade near our house yesterday evening and then proceeded to set up in front of the chapel and jam loudly while mass was being celebrated inside. It was curious to us, and we wondered if anyone inside could get anything out of the service. I didn't get a picture of that band, but here are the little angels and a band I saw this morning (not sure if it's the same one I hear now)
Of course, nowhere jams like the plaza in front of the Paroquia, the beautiful fairytale church in the center of town. Every evening we've passed by, there has been a group of mariachis playing and soliciting songs from turistas and locales sitting on the benches.
If you haven't noticed by now, we are having a great time so far in SMA!
