San Miguel de Allende in Guanajuato state, México
The Parque Central, directly across from the church. Due to the elderly nature of ex-pat inhabitants in SMA, that first line of benches is known irreverently as Death Row.

¡Los Colores!
First thing in the morning, Café!
I love the COLORS of México.

We were in SMA over Thanksgiving and attended a large dinner gathering at the Frontera restaurant with Bo and his friends, including Jade, the colorful Canadian physician to my right in this pic.

Bo's friend Norma (on the left below) took us all to Dolores, Hidalgo for a lunch of carnitas. Carnitas come from the kitchen in this large vessel:
We had a lot of relaxing time in the parks and church yards of SMA, including Guadiana Park near the hotel.

Another friend of Bo's, Ellen Snyder, took us on several excursions, including a visit to Querétaro, where we saw the room in the convent where Emperor Maximilian spent his last days before facing the firing squad, 19 June 1867.
It is a large city but has a very walkable historic center.
One of Querétaro's most striking features is the early 18th century aqueduct that traverses the valley.

| Back in SMA Shannon and I did a lot of walking, hiking up to the Centro Comercial (the Mall) and to this overlook among others. |
Did I mention that we LOVE the colors of México?
