Springtime in Guanajuato

It's February and we are back in beautiful, charmed Guanajuato after six weeks in California, working to help pay the expenses of our new home. It's lovely here. Evenings are cool but days are cheerful and bright. The jacaranda trees have yet to bloom, but it feels like spring. In our absence, much of the reconstruction of city streets in el centro has been completed. The new governments--city, state, and federal--are in place. It's early morning now, and I'm listening to birdsong.
