Entry #3

Monday, October 24th, 2005

Today I walk for several hours around town, discovering different streets and routes to and from the Jardin, which is the main square in San Miguel. It is the meeting place for everyone, no matter the age. It is the heart of the city.

There is an abundance of activities here. The bilingual weekly newspaper Atencion lists events and I begin to circle those that interest me. There is something to do every day of the week and at all times of day.

Tonight I will go to the first of eight photography lectures hosted by Santa Fe Workshops at Teatro Angela Peralta. Each time two photographers will talk about and show their work. Tonight's presenters are Vida Yovanovich http://www.zonezero.com/exposiciones/fotografos/vida/default.html
and Jay Maisel. http://www.jaymaisel.com/
The outside of the Teatro was used during the revolution as a place for firing squads. The many bullet holes are still there.
