There are so many parts of the world I want to explore, that going back to the same place twice, (like reading the same book twice) seems extravagant. But there’s a time and a place for certain destinations, and there are many towns that I feel I’d appreciate differently today. If I went back to San Miguel Allende, I’d take half a dozen classes and I’d immerse myself in the town’s artistic community. My friend, Stephanie and I, (we travelled to San Miguel Allende together) used to joke about the country house we’d one day fill with treasures from our travels. Now that we both have homes, (she even has a country house) I’d snap up many more textiles and ceramics. And I wouldn’t bother with duffel bags. I’d ship the whole lot home. We stayed in a lovely hacienda, I’d stay there again, unless of course designer, Michelle Nussbaumer invited me to her eclectic San Miguel getaway. That would be awfully grown-up.
