Partial to Guanajuato, but outside of the D.F. it's all I know of Mexico. My grandfather retired to San Miguel de Allende in the 1950s or 60s (most of his career was spent in Latin America; he was fluent in Spanish and on his 90th birthday I saw how much the locals loved him). I stayed one full summer as a boy, when San Miguel was still small.

He and his second wife are interred together under the altar of the church he and her previous husband built there -- the last charge from her husband to him was, "Take care of M_ when I've gone" and he did. Seniors can find true love too, and though they were "quite proper" you could see their devotion to each other, well into their late 90s.

Such are my memories of Mexico. My uncle, who lives there now, is selling the place so it's not likely I'll ever return. And maybe that's a good thing, reading what Mexico has become; maybe sometimes it's better not to mar the memories of what was good with today's ruination of same.

It is truly sad, what Mexico has lost.
