Wow – what a difference three months makes! SMA is less crowded, the ex-pats seem more Mexican, the weather is a tad cool and beautifully sunny!
Between two colds and low internet speed, I was unable to post this blog sooner than now. I am now in a hotel preparing to fly home on Thanksgiving Day! I take three flights – Guanajuato to Mexico City, Mexico City to Seattle, and Seattle to Bellingham – arriving about midnight. So, I will wrap this up quickly because I had so much fun in SMA the second time around! My friend Becky joined me and we found that we were good travel buddies! She speaks Spanish well and we enjoyed slow days and occasional eating!
This first group of photos were all taken from the wonderful house we had! The view was extraordinary, the home was large and lovingly decorated and felt warm and and nurturing!
Becky and I went to all five concerts of the San Miguel Jazz and Blues Festival and enjoyed it immensely! We bought the best seats and felt like we had a personal experience with the musicians!




After concert drink – we never guessed this was the Irish Coffee Becky ordered! 




Another after concert drink! 


Lead singers and tap dancers riffing off each other – I love jazz! 
The last concert featured all the musicians and was fantastic – from Europe, USA, and Mexico!
These were some other experiences we had . . .

What – Christmas decorations!

A wedding in the Zocalo!
