Drive here long -- 400 miles in 8 hours -- and fairly boring, but there were some high spots. Acres and acres (or rather hectares and hectares) of agave plants, soon to become tequila. The plants are a dusty blue-grey color, and from a distance they appear to be a beautiful lake. They will soon be a lake of booze.
Apartment is lovely, in a good location, very comfortable. Weather perfect; warm and sunny in the daytime, clear and cold at night. There is more English heard here than Spanish. But the town still has a lovely colonial look, with houses all painted a different color, lovely gardens behind plain streetfronts, ankle-twisting cobblestone streets, sidewalks about 18¨wide. A shoppiing mecca. This internet cafe is the same one I used the last time I was here, two years ago. Remarkable longevity! And I am now off to the fish taco stand for lunch, same place as in the past.
