The Jardin, (pronounded Har-DEEN) the main park in the square surrounding the Parroquia, is the focal point of San Miguel. Both houses were only a short walk away this wonderful place. People hang out here: families with children, ex-pats, hawkers, and of course, touristas. It's pretty much the pulse of the city. It even has wi-fi, or it used to. We were not able to access the wi-fi this time, so maybe since so many people now have it in their homes they've discontinued it. But wi-fi and all that new gadgetry is not the reason people flock here. It's to sit and chat under the gorgeous impeccabley trimmed laurel trees. For children to play within the watchful eye of parents. Lovers meet here. Ex-pats come here to meet and greet.
To shop.
To eat.
To just people watch.
Or perhaps just to relax.
It's the heart of this city and it's pulsing with life.
