Morelia is a very large city, and we chose to stay in Old Town. The traffic was bizarre because many streets were blocked off due to a religious function that was held on the main street adjacent from the church and our hotel.
An outdoor hockey rink!! With temperature reaching 26 degrees Celcius. Our grandkids could skate around in their bathingsuits.
We spent half a day at La Grutta which is a beautiful area just outside San Miguel that has many pools of varying temperatures, and lovely areas to sit and relax. I forgot to bring a bathing suit, but that certainly wasn't a problem, because there was a small shop to purchase one. And if you became hungry or thirsty, there were waiters willing to bring you food and drink.
There was one pool I wasn't too crazy about. It was located in a dark cave where the water was quite hot and the air was very steamy. The guys enjoyed it though.
We headed to the artisan market seeking beautiful handmade products.
This is a hotel located just outside the market. I wonder who had task of hanging all the suns??
San Miguel is beautiful.
Claude, Lynne, Tim, Ann, Hoss, Crystal, and the new guy is Doug.
We met up with Doug, a buddy of Claude's, who's from Weyburn, and has been living in Mexico for 25 years. We had a nice lunch.
After a harrowing drive on a busy Mexican highway we arrived at our destination....the beautiful town of San Miguel de Allende! We stayed in Old Town which is hilly and paved with cobblestones.
We booked our stay at an old family business called Santa Domingo Suites. We loved it! It was small, quaint with large areas to sit and visit. The property was quite beautiful and hosted a variety of plants.
We shopped, ate, drank, laughed, and walked around in the centre of town. It was extremely crowded with traffic and people.
