As y'all probably know, it took less than a week for me and Mizzy to become "smitten" with San Miguel and decide to move here.

To anyone who's been in San Miguel de Allende for long, this is a familiar story, kind of a cliché really. But why, exactly? What's the magic that calls to some of us, that tells us we're home? A reporter recently asked our friend Warren his opinion. Warren, as he often does, in my opinion, nailed it:

"I call it a tribal thing. I really do believe that certain people who arrive here are just part of a certain tribe. I call us eccentric misfits. We arrive in San Miguel and we feel for the first time in our lives that we belong."

"We're really a bunch of aliens that have been off on a mission, and now we've completed our mission and they've sent us to SMA for R&R. At any moment they're going to beam us back up."

Thanks, Warren, for your insight.
