Bill and I went out to Fabrica la Aurora yesterday. It’s an old fabric mill that has been converted to shops and art galleries. Most galleries won’t let you take photos inside their shops so here are a few photos of the grounds. It’s quite pretty and the galleries are stunning.
I just wanted to share the views from our house in San Miguel de Allende. We overlook La Presa de Allende to the west and these gorgeous green mountains are directly behind the house to the east. Enjoy!
We’ve had several thunderstorms the past couple of days and the forecast is for more so I thought I go around the house and snap some photos of all the beautiful flowers that grow on the property. Enjoy!
Bill and I drove into town last night for dinner. After dinner we walked up to the El Jardin to watch a small parade.

Bill and I went into town on Friday night for the beginning of the Independence celebration. We went to El Jardin and it was packed with people so we went to a little piano bar, Johnny’s, away from the crowd and listened to some live music.

While we were there we met some caballeros preparing for a festival this afternoon. The town is decorated with green, red and white Mexican flags on every street. This weekend is the big celebration so I hope to get some more photos of the festivities. On
Well, it’s been quite an adventure. Bill and I drove from Palm Springs to San Miguel de Allende in three days with five animals. Much to our surprise, all the animals did very well on the trip. In fact, they probably did better than we did. We’re still a little tired from the drive, but we’re getting settled into our new place just outside of SMA. The home we have
My friend, Jeff Bowman, and I recently returned from a wonderful motorcycle ride to Silverdale, WA which is located near Seattle. We were on the road for a week and covered almost 2,400 miles. We rode north to Redding, CA and then cruised the coast through No. California, Oregon and Washington. Here are a few photos from the trip. Enjoy!
Here are some random photos of our family—Simon, Cali, Rhett, Gatsby and Juliet. They’re always fun to photograph—especially when they’re playing in the snow. Enjoy!
