Homes and gardens

On Sunday the library here runs a home and garden tour as a fundraiser. They had four busloads of people! They showcase different homes each week . This week they took us to homes that had "bovedas", or arched brick ceilings. We were surprised to be taken out of town to a private gated community with ultra modern homes. This was the first one we saw.



Loved the red tile bar.


The domed bovedas ceiling over the living and dining room was quite impressive. It takes a specialized craftsman to build these.


Below is a blurry picture of an artist's house in the suburb of Mexiqitas(?) I think it was. It was full of all kinds of cool stuff!


The owner made art of metal as you can see on his kitchen ceiling.

Later that evening we went over to visit Susan's friends Rod and Glenna . They had a fab view from the beautiful place they rent. A few years back they drove all over Mexico in their RV. They told us about a great RV park near where we are staying now. I would love to go check it out! I guess you know how much I enjoyed talking about RVs with them. Their daughter is taking the bus out of San Miguel back to Dallas on Tuesday. It costs $75. I look forward to hearing a report on that experience from them.


They took us to their favorite restaurant and indeed it was awesome. I had a chicken cordon blue and some of this ginormous margarita that Susan and I shared. What a great evening with some really fun people!
