Happy New Year, direct from the Jardin in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, my winter “home away from home” where my brother Don and I have been coming since 2007. New Years Eve in the Jardin (town square) has become a family tradition of sorts. But this year, I am particularly relieved to usher 2016 out the door.
As I look with great trepidation toward what the future holds for 2017, I turn to one of my favorite quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson; “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
May all your New Years resolutions be worthy manifestations…
Happy New Year!!!!
Feliz Ano amiga
Sure does look like a fabulous place to spend New Year’s Even. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead, Suzanne, and I’ll look forward to following along on your adventures.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!
Health, Happiness, and Wealth 🙂

Felicidades de Kentucky!
It truly is an amazing experience to be in the Jardin of San Miguel de Allende on New Year’s Eve! We were there a few years ago, and I took a short video of the fireworks with my phone, complete with our hysterical laughter of disbelief, and the singing of the crowd:

Unforgettable.
Feliz Ano Nuevo! On to the next adventure…
Love the quote! Here’s hoping we cross paths in 2017. Happy New Year!

It took me a minute to figure out that one photo of the hat on the head! Looks like a fab place to usher in the new year!
Wishing you a joyful and healthy 2017. May all our fears for the future come to naught (though I won’t be holding my breath on this one). 😉 Breath deep, have patience, and spend as much time in mother nature as possible!
My what a deadly looking ear of corn! OOH! Wishes for a wonderful 2017. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Suzanne! Looking forward to your destinations this year!!
More great memories being made with your brother:)
Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year, Suzanne!!
Happy New Year!!! And what a perfect place to be, in the past, Now, and in the future. An interesting combination on the corn. Mexico taught me to put chili powder on my fruit.
Happy New Year! Lov your blog!
Happy New Year Suzanne! May this year bring you more happy adventures!!!
look out it might get a lot more crowded in Mexico this year if the USA politics go as some think…
Looks like a wonderful, festive place to bring in the New Year! Wishing you all the best in this coming year—and yes, we must focus on what lies within us. It’s really the only thing we can control. Here’s to being in the present moment!
Happy New Year. Suzanne and Don! I just sent you an email. Didnd’t realize you were back in Mexico. I just spent Christmas in Ensenada. Ole and Feliz Ano Nuevo!
Another post full of great pictures. Thank you!
We spent three months there last year from Dec to March. New Years Eve in the jardin was amazing. The whole trip was, my hisband would move there is a second, me I still want to keep Canada as a home base. Cheers, Shelagh
Great photos that brought back fond memories. We lived in San Miguel for three months in 2007 and again in 2008 and loved all the celebrations. New Year’s Eve had a fabulous band playing in the jardin. The festivities were endless and so colorful!
Hope our paths cross in the southwest!
Happy New Year! Love the corn. You can get it at some restaurants in New Mexico.. Delicious. Thank you for sharing your adventures! Love your blog
Looks like a most wonderful place to ring in the New Year. Other countries have more appeal these days…… Alas, I appreciate your Emerson quote 🙂 Great pic of you!
We would love to revisit San Miguel. The holidays sound like the perfect time.
Storybook location! Beautiful choice. Thanks for your lovely and interesting blog with such beautiful photos. Happy New Year!
