I can’t believe we missed this performance. Luis Miguel sings with Mariachi in San Miguel de Allende. He was even filmed at the Luna Bar atop the Rosewood Hotel where Bill and I enjoyed many an evening. According to the stories we found he’s going to release (or has released) a new album. Granted, I’m not sure when this video was made, but we’ve been fans of Luis Miguel for
Wednesday was Mexican Independence. San Miguel de Allende started off the holiday with a fireworks display Tuesday night. I went over to our friends Kathy and Michael’s house where we had a nice view of the Parroquia in centro from the rooftop. The fireworks show was really something and we didn’t know it at the time, but there were a total six different fireworks displays all around town. Here are
We had the most amazing thunderstorm last night. There was lightning in every direction so I decided to go out and see if I couldn’t capture a few photos. This was the first time I’d ever tried to photograph lightning and I got a few decent shots before it started to pour down rain.

This is the rainy season in San Miguel de Allende. We get rain almost every late afternoon. When the clouds gather around the mountains it makes for some really pretty sunsets. Here are a few of my favorite photos of clouds and sunsets taken from our rooftop patio. Enjoy!

It pours. This video was from last weekend’s rain storm. I think it was somewhere near Hernandez Macias and De La Luz in centro. This poor taxicab driver didn’t realize how deep the water was and I’m sure was very sorry he attempted the crossing.
Here are just a few random photos. With San Miguel on virtual lockdown due to the virus we’re just staying close to home and enjoying the kids and the beautiful sunsets.
Amistad Canada held their 10th anniversary at the Institute Allende. Lots of folks showed up for the event to support the local NGOs. Here are a few photos from the event.
You just never know what you’re going to see in the Jardin of San Miguel. Yesterday afternoon a group of dancers were performing and the costumes were amazing.
Last night Bill and I walked up to Plaza Civica to see the Folklória dancers. This is Independence weekend in San Miguel so there were lots of people in the plaza for the show. I have to say that Folklória is one of my favorite things to watch. Last night the lighting wasn’t great, but the dancers were wonderful so I tried my best to get a few nice photos.
