A quaint, pretty place with not much to do. I don’t mean to sound harsh but besides shopping and ambling around the streets to look for more shops there’s not much happening in San Miguel de Allende. Of course that makes it a great place to spend a relaxing weekend. We did a lot of ambling, a little shopping and ate our way through town the rest of the time. The place is full of expats and wealthy Mexicans who can afford to live outside of DF and recently *gasp* they even opened the first Starbucks. (At least one enraged denizen moved in protest to a ‘purer’ area 40 km away. Of course, he was from the US.) The highlight of the weekend for me was meeting up with an old friend from school whom I hadn’t seen in 18 years. The world is small indeed… But there isn’t much else to say about the place, so here are some pictures instead:

So you can get a real feel for the event, here’s a little video:
