San Miguel Allende

Mar 8 was spent on a twelve hour tour with Tania, Marie, and Rodrigo.

After a yummy breakfast, we head off to San Miguel , another UNESCO World Heritage Site and what a treat to this magic city. The population is 14% Anglo, mostly retired lawyers, artists and movie stars. This has increased the cost of housing in the area, but there still is a barrio here with no running water.

Note the color scheme of all the buildings,  code for the city

Markets abound

Fourteen Franiscan and Jesuit Temples in the city, all open to visitors and incredible feats of engineering for that era

Market since the early 1700s, on four levels of the city built on a hill

cactus for salads

figured out the color scheme for the city?

Lunch is waiting for us

Faithful watch dog at the pharmacy

water troughs that bring rain water from one street  down to another and prevents flooding in the rainy season

Back to Morelia by 9 pm  to enjoy  the view from our balcony at Mision Catedral

Photos will need to tell the story for this day.
