Settling in to my new home

Dad and I spent a very busy week getting all the small details of my new house worked out and I promise to post casita pictures soon. Fortunately, we also had time to further explore San Miguel de Allende and continue to be inspired by its beauty. There are more gringos here this time of year (boo!) but it’s still a quaint place and will serve my need for quiet space quite well. Everyone I’ve met here has been incredibly friendly, from my new neighbors from North Carolina to the four-generation family that has lived across the street for the last hundred years. Yes, I appear to be sitting pretty in Mexico! :)

Beautiful hand-carved wooden doors on a nearby shop

Obama Poster – love the enthusiasm, but it just doesn't sit well with me that they have him holding a basketball…

Interesting Obama poster but seems a little odd to be politically campaigning in another country. (Not that Obama himself had any doing with that.) Are those to persuade American tourists?

And the basketball is rather strange.

Will you be back in the US in time to vote?

I'll be using my absentee ballot (won't be back to the States until January). Since so many people here are dual citizens, it's not surprising to see the promotion...it's just (I think) a funny version of it.

Oh! That makes sense. Dual citizenship. Okay, now I understand.

But the basketball? Still odd.
