IS THIS MY LIFE?
SAN MIGUEL & beyond
In Is This My Life? San Miguel & Beyond, the second part of the two-volume SMA series, Inexplicable Mexico Contemplated, Cynthia tells of her actually living in SMA, not just visiting, as in her prior four years. Those two experiences are very different. She had the opportunity to visit other locales in Mexico—the “Beyond” part of the title--and writes of her impressions of those places for her readers. She shares her experiences residing in El Centro in a mostly-Mexican neighborhood next to the popular Artisans’ Market, doing what people do in their daily lives, and finds stories to share in these every-day “adventures.”
“If you can’t go home again, do the next best thing and find a new home. That’s what Cynthia Claus did when she moved to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, picked by international travelers as the Best Small City in the World. Part travelogue and part personal reflection, Claus’ “Is This My Life? San Miguel and Beyond” is all heart. Don’t miss this enchanting, insightful book about living a new life—late in life—south of the border. A great summer read for all seasons.
