I've just returned from 8 days in the beautiful colonial Mexico town of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I'll show you some of the photos over the next few blog posts.

I love being in the jardin for festivals! The city square is filled with smiling families and children, with everyone enjoying the colorful costumes, banners and music.
