San Miguel de Allende Vacation, 2014

The Jardin is a garden plaza across from the famous Parroquia church.

The Jardin is a central point in the town where people congregate to visit and people-watch.

The trees are immaculately trimmed and maintained.

One could do a complete study of the doorways of San Miguel.

Interesting colors and doorway.

The Beaugainvillea were in bloom.

People like to hang interesting decorations from the buildings.

These water drainage pipes are seen everywhere. They drain water from the rooftop and are called canales.

There is plenty to do at the Jardin!

Shopping along the Artisan street.

Selling dolls.

Wonderful food is found throughout the town. This was a dish at La Parada Peruvian Restaurant

An area for washing clothes. It was Labor Day when we visited, so no one was washing.

Colorful boots on display.

The front of the Parroquia church at the center of town.

These flags can be found along some streets. Not sure what they mean.

The bells ring often and without any discernible pattern.

This shot is taken looking from the Parroquia toward the Jardin.

A mess of wires. These are not seen within the central part of the town which is a UN Heritage Site.
