Next Trip: Central Mexico
It’s time to brush up on my Spanish again.
During Memorial Day weekend, Julie and I will be Mexico-bound. We’ll be: (1) attending our friends’ wedding; but mostly (2) cavorting in nearby San Miguel de Allende, a historic (1542!) town in the middle of the country that has a large ex-pat community.
San Miguel de Allende is known for its gorgeous colonial architecture and hot springs. It was a popular destination for 1960s counter-culturers like Ken Kesey and Neal Cassady. Turn on, tune in, drop out…
UPDATE 5/11: The wedding, and our trip to Mexico, has been postponed due to the swine flu outbreak. It could be rescheduled as early as next month. In the meantime, we’re also finalizing plans for yet another wedding (that of Julie’s sister) in the U.S. Virgin Islands in July.
UPDATE 5/20: OK… So the wedding, and our trip to Mexico, is back on. We’ll be south of the border June 25-29. We have added one day in the picturesque city of Guanajuato. Looking forward to seeing the colorful homes climbing up the side of the mountains.
