Here in Mexico, there’s a holiday for Benito Juarez‘ birthday (all you need to know as a non-Mexican and/or history buff about him is Cinco de Mayo–party on) and we are getting a 4-day weekend as a result. Even though I have a physiology exam on Wednesday when we get back, I am determined to take a few days off and travel. We are going to San Miguel de Allende in the state of Guanajuato which I’ve heard is a wonderfully colonial, old-style town with lots of historic and scenic sites. Most people who are going anywhere are going to the beaches of Puerto Vallarta/Ixtapa or Manzanillo (5 and 3 hours away, respectively) but as much as I love the water, I want to take pictures and enjoy scenery.

Soo…I’ll be gone until late Monday, but I plan to write some in between and you should hear from me then. Hasta luego!
