First Weekend in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Monday, September 25, 2017

Things have been lively throughout this first week in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.  But the weekend proved to top it all.  Aside from the usual walk and coffee (always trying new coffee shops of which there seem to be an unusual number for a small town of approx. 100, 00), we went to Juarez Park with art work showing on weekends, the Organic Market with lunch, the Arts & Crafts Market, and nightly visits to El Jardin (the main square).  Here depicted are some of the scenes we so enjoyed.

Friday 10-13-2017 Guanajuanato is another small city, near San Miguel de Allende and also very attractive.  Good weather, lively people, beautiful architecture and lots to do.  It is the heart of the "route to independence," as Mexicans refer to the region.  Where the brave men and women hatched and carried out a successful plan to liberate the country of Spanish rule.  This is a university city, considered one of the best.  Therefore much culture in addition to all its other qualities.
