San Miguel de Allende is a retirement town for ex-pats, mostly US and Canadian. Its a beautiful town, an old silver mining town built in the days of the Spanish Conquistadors, I think. On my second day here, I went with a couple acquaintances to a market away from the plaza where the real Mexicans go. Dave had a truly antique backpack he left with a shoe repairman in the market who did quite a miracle number on it. This guy was quite a character, very lively. I didn't ask about the rather prominent swastika in his stall. I did shake hands with him and he does it with a flourish. He's the first person that really connected this trip so he got the magnet.
