I live in San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in central Mexico. It’s so central that it is called the “Heart of Mexico.” Our town is known for its colonial heritage and being the birthplace of the Mexican Revolution. But, when springtime arrives, we’re better known for our trees – specifically, the jacaranda trees that grow throughout the city.
My husband’s large Mexican family has a long history of taking road trips, usually by bus, to places they’re connected to – Puebla where his grandmother was from, Michoacan where his father was from, and numerous religious pilgrimage sites throughout Mexico important to his mother. Whenever we gather around the evening table, invariably someone brings up antics and accidents that happened on those trips – then we spend the rest of the time laughing.
