We are here in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The map will give a general location from Michigan. We are in Guanajuato state and the city or municipality of San Miguel, which I will refer to as SMA to help with my typing. Also trying to speed up page load by only using small photos. You can view the whole album for the day by clicking in link below each photo.
We are staying at the Casa Liza B&B, same as in 2008. Instead of the Casita Maria Luna - an absolutely gorgeous place where you live in the art, we are in the Corner Room. We just love it - daytime around 75 F and night around 50 F.
We also had a chance to make some new friends; Barbara and John from New Mexico. After enjoying breakfast on the outside patio, visited each other's rooms to compare the art work.
From Casa Liza we went downhill to the public wash area - both clothing and kids at times. A natural spring was found a couple of centuries ago to supply the small town with a good fresh water supply. The public wash is for those still not connected to the city water system.
Next was a stop in the Parque Juarez only a few blocks away. This week is the Ecoligico Festival. SMA is known for it’s festivals. This is just one of many.
One new large thing we noticed was a new hotel-residence facility being built adjacent to the Instituto Allende -

The new place is Artesana Rosewood. Should be finished before our next visit.

Sorry that I am 16 days behind in doing these blogs. Will try to add more phtos – maybe larger and less words to make updates to blog easier and more time to spend enjoying SMA :-)
