I never posted pictures from the last leg of our Mexico adventure, so I thought I'd take a moment to finally do that. Part of it is reminiscing and part is looking forward to our next trip down that way, which should be in February. It's funny to look back at old photos. I took a moment to look at my pictures from India just now as well... that trip seems like a lifetime ago.
We spent the last week or so of our trip in San Miguel de Allende, a place that was recommended to us by many people for its beauty, but one that we were wary of going to because it is very popular with Americans and Europeans. We were going back to the U.S. soon, so we were not exactly seeking to be surrounded by Americans. Nevertheless, we went, and it was quite lovely. We really took it easy, spending lots of time in our spacious hotel room watching some very old and strange movies. We found a great little stand in this indoor market just outside of the center that sold delicious tortas (sandwiches) and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Our torta of choice was avocado and cheese. Mmmm... I often crave some of the things we ate on this trip.
Following about four nights in San Miguel, we hit the road and headed back to Mexico City. We ended our trip the way we began, staying with my boyfriend's family, being fed incredibly well, and being shown the best parts of DF (Distrito Federal). One of the highlights was a trip out to Teotihuacán, a collection of pyramids just outside the city.
