(Sorry!) More feasting, at Casa Vista. Photo of the brimming board, and Gil feeling the after effects.
The next day, back on the road and a meeting of two wounded soldiers.
Problems at Casa Vista prompted an offer from Management to move us higher up in Atascadero to fabulous new Casa de Catarina, at Agua 8, where Hadrian would have felt quite at home. How lucky can you get? Views of the interior and exterior later in this batch.
Dinner at the amazing Bugambilia and photos of their famous chile dishes. I had the one with the pomegranite seeds sprinkled on top and it was one of the most delicious and unusual meals I have ever had.
It is Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday and to celebrate the children are in the Jardin throwing eggs. These are filled with flour and confetti and all three of us, Aurelie, Alexa and I, were bombarded with them. Lots of fun!
Finally to Churros y Chocolat for some goodies. We can't resist anything here!

Batch 5
The Jardin, which is the heart of San Miguel, comes alive at night. Batch 5 includes photos from various evenings where we wandered into the Jardin to listen to the music and to watch the fun.
Due to problems at our casita, we spent a night at a beautiful bed and breakfast in Atascadero, the CASA PUESTA DEL SOL. Like so many places here, art work of all kinds delight the eye everywhere you turn. I cannot resist taking photos of all the art pieces and the beautiful rooms! The breakfast was simply wonderful, with scrambled eggs and ham, fresh squeezed orange juice, toast and coffee. All for $70US a night. High up in Atascadero, it had wonderful views to the town, where La Parroquia de Nuestra Senora de los Dolores parish church dominates the view with its pink spire.
At breakfast, we met a lovely couple from San Luis Potosi, Lenora and Francisco, and I took their photo with Mike.
Back at the Jardin, we find Ron dancing with lovely lady, students dancing and playing music in their period costumes.
The next day, breakfast at Buen Dia (photo of Brad's Scramble, a favorite) and a surprise meeting with Tim and Diana. We first met Diana on our journey from the airport at Guanajuato and we've bumped into them ever since.
Sunday, and off to the Flea Market. Lots of photos including one of a big blue and white tent where an ice show was in progress! You never know what you'll find here.
We walked back home, stopping at the Hotel Atascadero for a rest. Quite surreal as nobody around, it seemed completely empty.
Back on the road, we met a couple of ATV riders (probably the best way to get around) and found Aurelie's brother-in-law (husband of Aurelie's sister, Alexa, who are now staying with R&A) painting outside La Pueblacita, a beautiful hotel and restaurant. Gil Dellinger, brilliant artist (see his website) is enjoying painting here. At the hotel, the Sunday afternoon buffet was in full swing and we plan to go there next Sunday to enjoy the food, the gardens, the music and the wonderful ambience.
