Hotel Panorama San Luis Potosí

... you don't like big cities - there are not enough "gringos" or expats to make you feel comfortable - there may be less social contact due to fewer expats - it is an industrial city, for example General Motors just opened up a big plant in 2008 - possible bankruptcy of General Motors would have adverse effect upon this city in the future Conclusion: For a large city San Luis Potosi rates highly but in the end I would chose our next ...

... s beautiful former silver mining towns. Speaking of former silver mining towns, I was immediately drawn to the name of San Luis Potosi due to my memories of Potosi, Bolivia. The town in Bolivia is famous for its silver mines that once financed a good part of Spain's wars in Europe and the explorations and expansion of "New Spain". I actually crawled around in the underground labyrinth of tunnels in one of the silver mines. In the claustrophobic ...

Entrée au Mexique Bonne année 2008 à tous ceux et celles que nous n'avons pas pu rencontrer lors de notre visite au Québec et un merci sincère à tous ceux et celles qui nous ont reçu pendant cette période de réjouissance avec les enfants, petits-enfants frères, soeurs et amis. Ce fut très agréable, tout comme notre retour au soleil du Texas. On s'excuse du retard dans la mise-à-jour du blogue, mais nos premiers 25 jours au Mexique sont ponctués de déplacements fréquents, de visites int ...

... at the top one on each side, then the music starts and the pole starts spinning round and round and the men are spinning round and round and all of a sudden they are floating gently round and round in the air upside down, it is so hypnotic and strange to watch and very gentle. We kind of did something very naughty and ran away from the hotel without paying for our last night sssshhhhhhh don't tell anyone - im sure we'll be repayed for our scabbishness soon. Of we went on a ...

... small and relatively non-touristy. Other than the historical aspects, the only other attractions would be ceramics, and the numerous odd flavors of ice cream available in the town square. If you ever wanted to try tequila, or pork rind flavored ice cream, this would be a "must see" destination. We stuck with some more traditional flavors, but the whiskey ice cream actually turned out to be very tasty!

... great, the cats...well let's just say we like it when they're asleep! <br><br>San Miguel de Allende is a very pleasant town. I can't say it's my favorite but it is very easy to navigate due to the large expatriot population and the food is great because of the demand created by the gringos. There is a great botanical garden and hot springs here about which I'll write after we see them. We are here through New Year's so I'll add more to this ...

... well...although the other day he said "Ay que vayo" which is basically a completely made up term that combines the Spanish "Ay Carumba" and the Jewish "Oye Vey!" into this weird expression. Even more weird, I understood exactly what he meant.) So, I was sitting there, at Don Juan's Cafe, and I started to miss home. I missed having Ali the intern pick up my sushi lunch for me and eating it with full abandon (I hate to admit I had the intern pick up my lunch for me, but so it goes ...

... to be a small mansion, with antiques, chandeliers, wide screen TV and lovely bedrooms - it was great being in a house! Zacatecas is famous for its street performers. On weekends musicians gather on street corners. Once there is a bit of a crowd they start to walk around the town, the crowd follows and is served drinks as they go...lots of fun!
