San Miguel de Allende

We've arrived!! Our first night at San Miguel with margaritas, Mexican food and vistas to the La Parroquia, the church in the main square!

The next day, we started our exploration of San Miguel, where we caught sight of the colonial architecture, ate some more Mexican food, and drank more margaritas!

Nancy and Nancy found a cooking school offering classes and were able to sign up and get our first cooking class with Paco!



The first cooking lesson was about going to the market (the local "farmer's" market) and finding ingredients to make dishes for the class.

Paco owns a great bakery in the city called Petit Four--which we discovered to have the best espresso drinks in the city!

We've now taken two cooking classes and I'll bet you'll see some of these dishes on the Manor menu!

Below are some of the photos from theses sessions:



Market scenes--beautiful fruits, vegetables and herbs!


San Miguel's version of William Sonoma! Nancy has found new cooking and preparation items!

Tom says this donkey is no John Deere!
Following are some architectural shots of which I'm sure there will be more. Our house has a roof terrace with a cooking station. It's been a bit cold, but the sunsets are awesome! View below from our top terrace.
