David McClintock:
"The Moon"
Our Moon is typically treated as a milestone, a small step, then a mere footnote. While certainly a huge fan of Mars, I argue the Moon is of vastly greater importance near and long term, most likely more so than Mars.********
Location & Time: Tuesdays, 11:30am to 1:30pm
Quinta Loreto Hotel, Cjon. de Loreto 15, Centro, Zona Centro, 37700 San Miguel de Allende, Gto.
From Cjon. de Loreto, enter the Mercado de Artisanias alley (East, going up-hill) about twenty yards and turn to your left into the Hotel Quinta Loreto compound.
The community center is on the Southeast side of the little central park. If you are coming by car, there is a parking lot within the compound.
(The community center is in the same location as the Philosophical get-together which is held on Fridays.)
A 50 pesos donation is suggested.
