On Saturday we made the long trip from Nuevo Laredo to San Miguel de Allende. Freddy led the way for most of the trip with Betsy riding tail. The trip was fairly smooth with the occasional cow, burro or goat wandering into the road way. It is easy to understand why half of Mexico is trying to escape to the US. The level of poverty is amazing. One highlight was the dried snakes that you can purchase for lunch.
Jason had a taco for lunch from a shack with no roof, pallet walls and a dirt floor. Absolutely delicious! Todd chose to pass for fear of M. revenge.
San Miguel is supposedly one of the top ten places to visit in the world. So far we are not seeing the charm but maybe our morning exploration will enlighten us. We did have a midnight snack of corn on the cob with Cohita cheese and dried peppers and of course some tequila and Corona. Wonderful.
Today we are participating in a city wide car show for La Carrera and then it is on to Puebla at 7 pm tonight. The goal is to go through Mexico City with a Federal Police escort around midnight so we miss the traffic.

Nice shades Todd, would look better in some Oakley sunglasses though. Just my opinion.
