I was feeling a bit better today so we adventures to see an ancient pyramid from approximately 2500 years ago

Our guide was very interesting and told us about many of the plants in the garden of the area

Then we went to a local home for lunch, a typical Mexican lunch, flautas, quecedillas, salad, beans

On a short walk to breakfast, I was hit by a Truck! Not a bad a it sounds tho! the back door of the bobtail delivery truck flew open and hit my arm from behind as we were both heading the same direction, me on the sidewalk, on a narrow street. I wasn’t hurt, but it did shake me up a bit! We did a little exploring after breakfast, went to the Ignacio Ramirez market, and the artisans market. Then as I was returning to the hotel I got a migraine! And am cautiously staying close to the hotel since Montezuma is seeking his revenge. … not the best of days, so far and its barely noon! Then mid afternoon a 2nd migraine! Wish me luck tomorrow. We are hoping to visit an archeological site on a bus tour!

Today we traveled by taxi to San Miguel through lovely countryside

We checked in and rested before exploring the historic city center. A little girl was celebrating a birthday so we enjoyed her serenade by mariachi

We had a lunch in a great restaurant

Afternoon we visited the cathedral and the church of San Francisco before a wonderful Peruvian dinner

We did a walk from our hotel this morning and passed right by the university and found graduates taking their pictures!  Then on to the jardin and caught the local community band playing in the bandstand!  We did the tour of the theater then a quick tapas and enchiladas lunch

We had a reservation for dinner with a great view of the jardin, at la Trattoria and enjoyed a stroll to a lovely plaza Baratillo, around the Jardin and back passed the street food markets

After coffee and a pastry relaxing in Plaza San Fernando, we visited the Mercado Hidalgo and had lunch near by at a taqueria. Then we visited the local history museum, Museo Alhondiga de Granaditas, where we learned about the early civilizations of the area and the revolution and fight for Mexican independence

We did one of the student walking mariachi tours! Knowing Spanish would have made it even better but it was fun! Unfortunately, I’m having problems uploading pictures from Emmett’s Sony camera too…. so back to the phone photos this trip.
