Views from the House in San Miguel de Allende
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!
Rain and Thunderstorms in San Miguel
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!
More Parades in SMA
Bill and I drove into town last night for dinner. After dinner we walked up to the El Jardin to watch a small parade.
The Celebration Continues
Celebrating Independence Day in SMA is a big deal. According to history, Allende entered SMA and went to Narcisco de la Canal’s home to ask him to hand over the city to the insurgents. De la Canal refused to open the door the first time so Allende went to former city hall building and demanded the Spanish hand over the village. Allende went back to Canal’s home. Allende convinced de
Independence Day
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. It was a fun little place and just a hole-in-the-wall. We stayed until about 10pm and tried to catch a cab, but most of
Breakfast in San Miguel de Allende
This morning Bill and I finally got into el centro. We had breakfast with Barbara (our guardian angel of Mexico) and her friend, Nora. 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
San Miguel de Allende Adventure
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
Silverdale, WA Road Trip
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!
Our Family
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!
The Kids
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any new photos. Honestly, I haven’t even picked up the camera in months so I thought I’d get a few photos of the kids in their new home. Cali, Rhett and Gatsby are having fun in their new surroundings. Rhett, of course, has already managed to fall in the pool, but managed to get himself out—immediately! All-and-all, they seem to be quite happy in
