Sidewalk Cafe

Part of the reason for creating this blog was to share snippets of life in Mexico that many Americans would not otherwise be aware of. For the most part we are not traveling to places where American tourists would normally visit. For example, we have never been to any of the coastal resort towns. San Miguel de Allende is a bit of an exception to that, as it does have a sizable expat population, but it is still less well-known than other places.

We had an amazing time visiting San Miguel for the weekend. We enjoyed great food in small cafes, three full days of cultural events, and, dare I admit it, a few trips to Starbucks for the first time while we’ve been in Mexico!

We look forward to a return trip to San Miguel de Allende in the future.

Notice the trees trimmed square like in our town!

The Church Building

I just like this photo of our town’s church. The building is estimated to be from the late 1500’s.

It’s traditional in this part of Mexico to neatly trim the trees into gumdrop shapes or squares. I like how the trees and church look together in this photo.
