69 Centro San Miguel de Allende, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico, 37700, 415-15497-70
... de parcs aussi, pas toujours bien entretenus malheureusement, les mexicains etant décidement irrespectueux des paysages et jetant leur déchets n'importe où.
Nous visitons la maison de Robert Brady, riche héritier qui voyagea à travers le monde et rapporta de nombreux objets qu'il entreposa dans sa magnifique demeure de Cuernavaca, puis le jardin Borda avec ses jolies fontaines.
For my last day in Mexico - and my birthday - I decided to treat myself and not to return to the Centro Historico. Insteat I went to the more upscale Zona Rosa. A nice place, really, with dozens of good restaurant (and not that expensive), clean pedestrian streets, pink-colored pavement (hence the name) and a friendly, lively ...
Mexico City, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico thomasboulier... many of which were given to him in exchange for food he grew) that the entire island was just one big shrine. I was excited to see it, and bitterly, bitterly disappointed when the evil canal driver pointed to a tree with a doll nailed to it on the banks of the river and said “there, look, the replica Island of the Dolls”. Replica! ********. We had paid for the real deal. The replica was just a tree with a few dolls nailed to it. I could nail a ...
Mexico City, The Federal District, Mexico jaspergreene... the road become Calzada De La Aurora. We thought maybe we had missed it so Sheila asked a man in a shop that was working on a painnting where the Fabrica Le Aurora was and he pointed and said "Adalente" (forward), so we kept going. We walked past a bridge and found the Fabrica Aurora off to the right of the road. We entered the court yard and in the building there was a gallery immediately to our left. The artist, Santiago Corral, was present for the morning hours and we got to walk ...
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico sfotch... de Allende host a House and Garden Tour on that day almost every week. This group of American and Canadian ex-patriots charge a nominal fee for the tours, provide buses and serve as escorts at all the homes on the tours. The monies collected provide Spanish and English books for schools in and around San Miguel. This program has been going on for about 50 years. The patio area of the library is also open to the local ...
San Miguel de Allende, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico lobo... is full of vendors setting up their canopies and installing their displays. Today we walked up to see the bullring since the gate was open in preparation for tomorrow nights bullfights. At $30 a ticket it is well beyond the reach of most of the locals in an economy where the minimum wage is about $6 a day. The popularity of San Miguel among US and Canadian tourists and second home owners and wealthy Mexicans from other areas ...
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico ladydi... whenever Diego was ****** off at Frida (maybe for not being happy about his latest fling) he would paint her as a prostitute in one of his murals on one of Mexico's most famous buildings. Ladies, be glad you´re not dating an artist!!! I didn´t realise how famous they were in their heyday. In the Casa Azul (Blue House) which has been turned into a musem, there are letters from people like Nelson Rockefeller and Helena Rubenstein and several famous actors and ...
Mexico City, Mexico couplakiwis... Sunday 8th July I had been dying to try barbacoa since I came to Mexico - it is lamb which is slow cooked in a pit wrapped in maguey leaves (a type of cactus) to keep it moist and it eaten with - you guessed it - tacos. Carmen (Juan's mum) offered to take Anna and I to the best place in Mexico City for it - an unassuming family run place in Coyoacan. Needless to say it was absolutely delicious - especially with the additions of ...
Mexico City, Mexico hudan... that day of the week only. Inside we found a fabulous home (owner was an architect) and the artist in his studio greeting people pleasantly and telling about his home and his work. It was a small treasure of time. Having done a great amount of reading before arriving in San Miguel I am always finding some spot, usually lodging or food related, that I have read about. You finally can put all the "places" in their places on the mental map.
