My first little trip

I've been busy organising my first small trip away. Next Wednesday I'm off to San Miguel de Allende, best known as an artist and writer's heaven. First I fly to Mexico City and from there catch a bus north-west; the bus leaves from the airport which is a real bonus. It's about a 4hr trip by bus, I believe. This is San Miguel, looks pretty nice doesn't it?

It's cooler in San Miguel, and in fact I believe it gets quite cold in winter. For now, it will be pleasant to be cool and not have the humidity.
One of the main reasons I'm going next week is that it's Semana Santa - Holy Week, and from all accounts, San Miguel has some pretty amazing celebrations & parades, which I'm looking forward to seeing and maybe even taking part in.

I will be renting a little casita for about $200 a week, in fact the whole trip should cost me only about $500. If my condo ends up being rented out it will cost me nothing, better still!
Eliseo has installed a lock on one of my wardrobe doors, so I can put all my stuff inside and lock it. It's not like I will be leaving anything valuable, but I don't want them drinking all my $2 bottles of wine, do I?

The casita has internet so I will be able to post info and pictures of what I see and experience there! I'm looking forward to my first week away.
