More La Alborada Photos
I’m finally getting around to posting more photos from the La Alborada parade. I’m amazed by these elaborate costumes. I still have more photos to go through, but here are a few more today. Enjoy!
Las Bestias Danzan
Las Bestias Danzan (Dance of the Beasts) was held in the El Jardin last night. Unfortunately, they didn’t get started until late and there was no light. Oh, well, these figures are really fun to watch as they dance around the plaza. Here are a few photos from the evening. Enjoy!

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

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!
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!
Locos Parade
The Locos parade is an annual and I was ready for the crazy… or so I thought. I arrived a little early to scope out a place to get some photos. I ended up sitting on top of the wall of the Hotel Aldea. I thought it would be a good spot and it was until just before the parade. About 5 minutes before the parade arrived the entire audience
