As an indication of how unsatisfying Guanajuato was to us we made a plan to visit to San Miguel de Allende (SMA). I've visited there many times over the years, had some wonderful times but each time I went, I enjoyed it less and resolved not to go again, a resolve I did not keep, obviously. It is a beautiful little city with lots of history and art but has become overrun by wealthy Americans and Canadians to the extent that it's no longer pleasant to visit. But to get a respite from the crowds and noise of Guanajuato and for a change of pace, visit we did. And we picked a very hot day to do so as it turned out, well over 30c. I took few pictures but here they are:

As part of our weekly Wednesday hiking group excursion, we explored a new area, the town of Santa Ana, a short bus ride from Guanajuato. It's a cute small village in the mountains with a nice reservoir that we hiked around.
I'll leave you with some beautiful blooms, the jacaranda trees that put our their lovely lavender flowers in the spring and the bougainvillea that is always blooming here.
And so, that's it for Mexico 2018. Stay tuned for Wanderings closer to home.
