Casa Rosada Hotel San Miguel de Allende

... amble around some nice leafy suburbs. I went to see the houses where Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo lived, joined together by a rooftop walkway - the perfect arrangement! Although he subsequently had an affair with her sister, so not that perfect. From there I walked through the Beverley Hills of Mexico City (private streets with security guards) to an old square with a 'handicrafts' market. When I walked past a second hand clothes stall the vendor came up to me and tried to flog me a ...

... orrore.<br>Per il resto del giorno ci limitiamo a camminare lungo i viali del centro, al momento di salire in camera ci accorgiamo della fatica di essere a 2200 mt, l'ostello è subdolo tu credi di dover salire al terzo piano, ma loro hanno due piani non conteggiati (dove c'è la cucina e l'altro con la sala tv) così in realtà devi arrivare al quinto. Dobbiamo organizzarci bene, perchè una volta scesi, se ti accorgi di aver dimenticato qualcosa, sono tutti cavoli tuoi risalire!!

... a few minutes, then one more would go off !! They were still going off intermittently when I got back to my room 10 mins later & could see them from the balcony. Got to La Gruta, one of several balnearios in the area - picked it because it sounded the most interesting & on a bus route! It has several pools, the hottest being in a swim up 'cave' (sadly manmade but still impressive) - the domed roof turned it into a ...

... of San Miguel. We looked into a number of the shops along Hildago on our walk. The park was not overly crowded and we saw a few individuals with masks on. We walked backed to our place via Reloj and I pointed out the Biblioteca Publica that is the source for a lot of information for tourists, however it was closed because of the concern about the flu. I went out later to check out some grocery stores and the bank to get a supply of pesos. I walked around another large church and ...

The hostel is run by Ricardo very sweet man and he's quite knowledgeable of the area.The bathroom rocked and the shower was awesome,pretty bad huh when i go on about a bathroom and having a hot shower but its those things that i took for granted at home and i gotta tell ya i appreciate all of that and more.Two thumbs up for this hostel.

... off, Karen got a migraine during the trip. But we made it into Queretaro alive, and then took a taxi to San Miguel, since the next bus wasn't leaving for a while. We got to the Centro, and had a cup of coffee while waiting for the property manager of the house we were renting to meet up with us. The house is terrific, and I will post some of those pictures tommorrow. After taking a long nap, we took a stroll down the streets of the Centro, and found some dinner and made our ...

You know you are going to have a lazy day when you wake up at 1 pm. You can't blame us really...I mean we were up until 5 am the night before! By the time we got out it was past lunch time! We decided to scrap any big plans for the day given the timing, and instead elected to play it by ear. Our trek started at the Zocalo main plaza found in the heart of Mexico City. The plaza was absolutely stunning! Break dancers, speeches, ancient rituals, socialization...you name it, the plaza ...

... the trip was only about an hour. We approached San Miguel from the road up above the city and got a great view. It captured us right from the first glance. The were colourful houses dotted all through the city and the magnificent church that stands out proudly amongst the buildings. The town is surrounded by low mountain terrain on all sides. The days have been warm and sunny, but we were really surprised at how cold it can get at night. It is about 6400 feet in elevation here ...

... ich dann auch, welche Flüssigkeit meine Tasche auf der Reise nach Mexiko City getränkt hatte ... Der frühe Abend wurde mir durch die FAZ von Robert versüsst und zum Abschluss ging es gestern, mal wieder, ins Kino. Diesmal schaute ich "Grosse Haie, kleine Fische". Obwohl der Film eigentlich gar nicht übel war, fand ich doch, dass er ein Abklatsch von "Findet Nemo" ist - sprechende Trickfilmfische ...
