Traveling Near and Far

 Sunday 10-15-2017 The Guadalupe neighborhood of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico is an artist enclave.  Evidence of this is its people, art studios and street art.  Here are some of the murals on walls all over the neighborhood.

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.

Sunday 10-8-2017 Atotonilco, a small town just outside San Miguel de Allende, Mexico is a mecca for the faithful.  There is a sanctuary that has been named a World Heritage Site, and many flock to it during weekend excursions. We took a half hour ride to the site, walked around the town, ate a bite at a "fondita" and entered the church to see the art.

Sunday 10-1-2017 We've been in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico for two weeks.  And we've experienced two weeks of ceremonies, parades and other festivities.  Non-stop.  This town is not only family friendly, community oriented and rich in culture, but it loves to party!  People are out on the streets all day and late into the night.  Whether at cafes and restaurants, or at their beloved central square, namely El Jardin.  We love it!
