Welcome Back to San Miguel de Allende

Posted by PicasaWe arrived Saturday afternoon after a pleasant bus ride - yes, I said pleasant. The buses in Mexico are wonderful! Very comfortable, large seats, and they give you drinks and even a snack if you want it. They showed two movies and they were fairly recent ones! Mostly for the kids, but this is much better than the old "Rambo' ones they showed back in the 90's when we started coming down here.
When we arrived the Cervantes (the folks that we're house/dog sitting for) had not only prepared our casita by cleaning it spotless and putting out new linens complete with fresh flowers - they also presented us a fruit basket, wine and granola snacks for in the next morning so we wouldn't have to rush to the market! And, it didn't stop there. No, no, they whisked us over to their beautiful home where Ilidko had prepared and feast of Mexican food. Chili Rellanos (eat your heart out) and all the fixings. We had a lovely dinner with stimulating conversation, then back to our casita to settle in for the night.
And the flowers are out! We've never been here in the Spring and it is amazing to see, even more than usual, all the bursts of color around. Check out this fellow walking through the park with bouquets on his shoulder. Ah......so good to be back.
