Day 1 - a quick update

No time for details, here’s a quick recap:

Flight left DFW about 30 minutes late

Bus departed airport about 15 minutes late

LONG bus ride, half of which was just getting out of Mexico City - over one hour with nothing to see but cinder block government housing.  Not that pretty

Taxi to San Miguel was great - windows open the whole time, perfect temperature, very low humidity, beautiful scenery

Fun things spotted - loose donkeys and horses grazing by highway, multiple times 

- small band in parade formation marching and playing down side of highway, headed out of town!

Got to Case de las Flores - beautiful!  An oasis.  Walked to downtown, LONG walk through the heart of a predominantly Mexican part of town.  Had delish pork tacos from small cafe, diet cokes from one of many convenience stores being run out of houses  - Mariachi bands and fireworks down in the central jardin (square)

Walked back here, ready to pass out, dead tired.

Pics mañana!
