The girls stayed in Puebla and took a cab to the Mexico City airport to head back to Dallas. This way we were able to start heading north without having to take them to the airport through the always-fun and challenging traffic in Mexico City.
The ride to San Miguel de Allende was uneventful, and fast, on a 4-lane highway almost all the way with little traffic ... but a lot of toll booths. As we arrived in San Miguel, we stopped for a scenic picture at the top of the hill and headed down into town on a steep and fun cobble stone road. Our hotel was in front of the famous Instituto Allende (art).
We spent the day walking around, visiting the "jardin" and the Cathedral, having lunch, and churros, and flying the drone all around the plaza for some amazing pictures and movies. See some pictures below.
We also saw a concert by the military on the plaza that was supposed to start at 6pm but, in good Mexican time, it did not start until 7pm+. While the concert played, the church bells were going off, a mass with a choir singing next door was also going on ... all in all, great fun, and controlled chaos. Mexican style.
Tomorrow we head straight north to Laredo. A long 9-10 hour ride with a potential stop in Monterrey in case we are too tired to continue.
