Last Day in San Miguel de Allende (SMA)

Woke up to fireworks in the distance at 0600 celebrating the Resurrection. We loafed around a bit and then hit the road.

First stop was a huge market on the other side of town. We parked in the Soriana lot and did a hike there (I am losing weight with all this walking). The market was fun but it was really more of a flea market than the traditional markets. Of course we ate. 2 nice guys fixed us up with 5 delicious tacos with all the trimmings and 1 soda: total cost---60 pesos or $3.40....TOTAL!!! We skipped dinner because we were still full. We watched it get cooked and it was tasty.



The colors are messed up but these were awesome
On the way down the hill we found a pull out that gives a panoramic view of SMA. The picture still doesn't do it justice, but you get the idea.



Following yet another fantastic recommendation from Chris, we drove back past the RV park to the small village of Atotonilco. Wiki has a great write up on it HERE Turns out it is a UN World Heritage town housing a church from the 18th Century that is called the Sistine Chapel of Mexico. Look at the ceilings.
A picture cannot capture the beauty

Main Street
Then back to the RV park LINK for the last night,,,,this trip.

A cactus farm. Several gents worked in this from 0700 to 1700 for several days.
