Cold and Stars in San Miguel

Text from the blog the JM kept on the Feb/Mar 2010 buying trip for Chiripa.

We were late arriving in San Miguel de Allende, a beautiful colonial town that has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


We contacted Felix, an experienced artisan who produces the magical tin stars, and many of the luminaries and mirrors, that grace Chiripa. Within a half hour, Felix and his wife arrived at our hotel to take our order. It was an unusually cold night in the courtyard, and Felix and his wife borrowed our jacket and fleece to keep warm. (They came dressed in T-shirts.)
