Jan 6, 2020 It turns out that like Christmas day itself, there isn’t really much happening on Three Kings Day itself.  It seems that kids leave shoes out to get candy and get some gifts, no parade, no actual festival.  Oh well.  We still went into town, this time to check out another language school,…

Jan 5, 2020 San Miguel has a lot of holidays and festivals.  Monday January 6 is Three King’s Day celebrating the three wise men who visited Jesus.  It is celebrated a little bit like Christmas with candy and gifts for children.  The day before Three King’s Day, there a special 24 hour pop up market…

January 4, 2020 I set an alarm at 7 AM to make sure we got to the tour on time.  Of course a bus showed up almost as soon as we got out of the hotel and we were in town by 8:15 AM.  Murphy’s law, if you cut things close everything will be slow…

January 3, 2020 We had two goals in mind for the day, first we wanted to take a motorized trolley tour which had one English language trip a day at 9:20 AM and we wanted to visit some language schools to see about Spanish classes.  The bus did not show up for a while so…

January 2, 2020 We were running low on groceries so we went to the nearby nice supermarket, the La Comida. This supermarket was had everything from groceries to clothes like a Walmart Supercenter, but clean, bright and much nicer, even better than Target.  We stocked up on groceries and got some beef stew, rotisserie chicken…

January 1, 2020 We woke to another beautiful, warm day.  We slept late, did schoolwork and generally hung around Rover all day.  One special thing we did was we went over our finances.  Every January 1, we go over all of our assets and figure out how much money we have and our net worth. …

Dec 31, 2019 Woke up to the last day of the year to another gorgeous warm sunny day.  Our plan was to go into town for a few hours then return to the RV for a rest then head back out in the evening for the New Year’s Eve celebrations.  To get to town we…

Dec 30, 2019 I looked up Real de Catorce and while it looked interesting it seemed that it would not be advisable to take our RV there since there was just a gravel road.  We could take a bus for 1 hour each way but it just seemed like it was a lot of hassle…

Dec 29, 2019 We woke up in the morning faced with the decision of where to spend New Year’s Eve.  We could stay in the big city Monterrey where there was likely to be lots of activities or continue to San Miguel de Allende, a small town with voted best city in the world by…

Dec 28, 2019 We had considered Monterrey just a stop over between the border and further stops inland but after arriving we decided we wanted to stay longer.  First stop after I got up was to walk to the nearby McDonalds to get on their internet and do some clean up chores.  The McDonalds had…
