"Long Day's Journey" Into SMA

Took off on time, out the door by 7:30.  Made a quick top off on the gas tank, bought the newspaper and off we went.  A fun day, to say the least, but nothing out of the ordinary.   We crossed the mountains without an issue stopping at our favorite taco stand at the entronque of Galeana.   Our friends remembered us.  They took care of us when we broke down in April.  

Headed down to San Roberto and Matehuala.  Lots of highway traffic and federales everywhere.   Overall a very safe trip.  We took advantage of Spotify music app and hooked up a cellphone to the car stereo.  The signal left us a couple of times but we had some great classical jazz and some great conversation.

Getting off the highway to head to SMA we hit one heck of a downpour.  Truly beautiful and a wonderful welcome for us.  At home the forecast is 40C to 42C for the next week.  Looks like we left in time.  We stopped at the Mega for a short list of supplies and then called our AirBnB host who met us at the house just 10 minutes after the call.  

The house has two bedrooms and a small studio.  It has a gate over the driveway so we can pull in the car but it looks like a pretty safe neighborhood.  There is a roof terrace also that we didn't know about.  No furniture there but we can take a couple dining room chairs up there.

The house is a bit rustic but has a great master bedroom and bath.  For the price it will do just fine and we don't plan on being home anyway.

Overall I think we will like the place and it seems to suit us already as we are into the happy hour, national news and checking our internet which is extremely fast.  Tomorrow morning we are watching the soccer game between Croatia and France.
