San Miguel de Allende, Mexico II

Thursday, September 21, 2017

Street merchants line the historic area of San Miguel de Allende.  Colorful and interesting.  Often hearing Indian language(s) spoken among them.


































A parade commemorating Saint St. Michael, patron saint of San Miguel de Allende, passed by our restaurant.  The actual namesake date is September 29th, but here they start celebrating way ahead.

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.
