La Alborada Parade (con’t.)
I’m still going through my photos from the La Alborada parade last Sunday. Here are a few more photos I like. Most of these photos came from when the dancers were walking up to the beginning of the parade. Enjoy!
La Alborada Parade
I attended the La Alborada parade this morning. If you ever want to visit San MIguel de Allende, be sure to come here during La Alborada. The weekend-long celebration is really something to see—including this wonderful parade with so many different groups od dancers being represented. I managed to shoot over 1,100 photos of the parade and I’m still going through them. I’s gonna take some time to go through
La Presa Allende
My friend Randy and I took his 4-wheel budgie out to the La Press Wednesday morning. Although I’ve driven past the La Press at least 100 times, I had never visited the shore. I didn’t realize it was such a robust habitat for birds and that there were so many folks making bricks along the shore. Here are a few photos from our outing. Enjoy!
Mexican Independence in San Miguel de Allende
Well, it’s been quite a weekend Mexican Independence celebrations. We were invited to a beautiful cocktail party at Mike and Tony’s home to start the festivities Sunday night. Their home is beautiful, the dog, Lucy, is as sweet as she can be and the guests enjoyed the evening looking over the city. Later Sunday night, Bill and I walked home. I then drove over to Kathy and Michael’s home for
A Walk Around Town
Walking around San Miguel de Allende is always fun. You just never know what you’re going to find on any given day. Bill and I headed into Centro to take care of some business so I took my camera along. Here are just a few photos from the day. Enjoy!
Coronación de La Reina de Las Fiestas Patrias y Regionales 2019
Sunday night at Plaza Civica they held a (for lack of a better description) beauty contest. The contestants were dressed in their finest dresses and gowns. I didn’t get all the contestants photos, but here are a few from the evening. What made the evening more fun was that one of the contestants is a former student from Bill’s English class. They also featured a wonderful trio of opera singers
Saint Michael’s Parade
Sunday was St. Michael’s parade through Centro. This parade, I’m told, is the preview of a much larger parade in September. It wasn’t the largest parade I’ve seen in San Miguel, but the native Indian costumes were wonderful. Here are some of my favorite photos from the day. Enjoy!
Playa Troncones and Zihuatanejo
This past weekend Bill and I drove to Playa Troncones and Zihuatanejo. It took us six hours to drive from San Miguel de Allende, but the scenery was spectacular. We passed through mountains and drove over lakes. We stayed at the Tres Mujeres hotel right on the beach. It was a very comfortable hotel and the hosts very very nice. We ate at several nice restaurants on the beach and
