Amistad Canada 10th Anniversary
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.
Just Another Afternoon in the Jardin
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.
3 Encuentro Nacional de Danza Folklória
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.
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!

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
