Traveling Near and Far

A well-cared-for nature preserve just on the outskirts of our town in Mexico.  Cacti that we never see in New Orleans, U.S., our main residence. Besides the lovely architecture, colors, music, food and festivities of San Miguel de Allende, there are also trails and other natural settings to visit. Never a boring moment!

Early one morning we heard a strange series of sounds that were foreign to our ears.  We scurried up the metal staircase to the rooftop terrace of our casita.  What a delight to see hot air balloons hovering over our neighborhood, seemingly close enough to reach up and touch.  All this from our casita in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
