FRIDAY 28TH - SAN MIGUEL (ST. MICHAEL)




Well all's well that ends well but we had some anxious moments yesterday. By the time I turned the phone off as we boarded the plane yesterday morning, we had received no response to the phone messages, text messages, and emails I had sent to Therese and Mario telling them that we weren't at the Leon hotel as planned and asking that they pick us up at the airport.

 
When we landed, there was no sign of them and when I turned the phone on, there was no message in response to the various messages left. Again their phones went straight to message bank. We tried ringing numbers for family members we had numbers for but couldn't contact them. We were pondering what to do next when we got an email to say that they had my email and could collect us at the airport. As I said, all's well that ends well.


We are very comfortably settled into Mario's sister's holiday home in San Miguel, a city of wonderful contrasts between the modern and very old. As it happens, today is the feast day of Michael the Archangel which is apparently a cause for great celebration and thousands of people will be flocking into the town to celebrate.


The old town of San Miguel is up to 500 years old and very quaint.
