San Miguel de Allende

This morning we said good bye to Guanajuato and our cute hostel and took a bus to San Miguel de Allende. The city is just as beautiful as Guanajuato, but the vibe is different. We were excited to find natural food stores all over town and we had dinner at a delicious organic restaurant.

After lunch we went looking for a botanical garden that we read about in our guidebook. It turned out to be quite a hike and the hill we had to climb was very steep, but it ended up being well worth the effort. The garden was full of paths we saw lots of different kinds of cacti (it turns out that Mexico has more types of cacti than anywhere else in the world).

I wish I could write more but the internet cafe where we are is about to close so I should go. Tomorrow we are going to Cuautitlan Izcali to visit a family friend of Rachel and then we'll be off to Mexico City.
I hope you are all doing well!
