I’ve got to admit, I have an infatuation with the donkeys in San Miguel. During the warmer months these true beasts of burden make their way through the cobblestone streets of San Miguel loaded with rich potting soil for sale. When the weather gets cold the donkeys bear an even more impressive load of mesquite wood which their owners sell to town folks by rapping loudly on their doors with a heavy wooden walking stick. Albeit, this makes a perfect picture card scenario in the quaint streets of San Miguel yet I have heard these ranchers often walk 8 hours before they reach the city and somehow survive on a mere $6000 pesos a month (about $300 dollars). Now who is the beast of burden?
