TUESDAY 2ND - LAST DAY IN SAN MIGUEL

Slow start to the day today but we did eventually get around to asking the shuttle bus driver who provides transport to the old town for the residents of the complex to take us down town where we browsed the shops and art galleries. The architecture is fantastic. As in the old towns of Europe the exterior of the buildings are in very original condition but, in many cases, the interior has been substantially renovated to enable modern retail shops to operate within the historic exterior shell.

 

 

Several days ago, we purchased a painting we particularly liked as an expression of appreciation to Mario's niece Cristy for allowing us to live rent free in her house. While in Guanajuato, we found the very scene depicted in the painting A great coincidence.

Tomorrow is a travelling day. Because we can't all fit in the car with our luggage, Trish and I will be travelling to Mexico City by bus. Therese and Mario will be joining us part way along the journey after they return the hire car.

Next phase – Mexico City until Monday when we head for LA and then on to Japan.
