“Well, everything here in Mexico is going well. After resting a couple of days, we have hit the road for a family road trip out to Aguascalientes. The first stop, however, on our trip is San Miguel de Allende. Noted for its hometown hero, Allende, this colonial town has been invaded by Americans who have turned it into Mexico’s Arts and Crafts capital. Today we stayed at a Hacienda called “”Quintana Loreto””. It is a funny place, when you see it from the outside it is just a ugly looking wall, but you go in and it is a beautiful hotel with gardens, birds, and a pool. Lots of Americans seems to be living here as there are some long term apartments in the back of the property. AJ is sleeping fine now in his tent. He whines a little when we put him to bed, but he does that at home too. I don’t have time or battery power to post much, but I leave you with some quick pictures.
This is from a place called “”El Mirador””, it overlooks San Miguel de Allende. In the background you can see the cathedral:

This was taken from the pool, AJ loves water! You’d think he was a fish:

AJ and Denise walking down the street in the center of San Miguel de Allende:

AJ loved the beef at Cafe Ole:

P.S. For those wondering about the flu,not many seem to care anymore. We only saw a few people wearing masks leaving the city. We are anxiously waiting for Wednesday when the museums open back up.”
