On The Road To Valle de Juarez

It was an uneventful drive to San Miguel de Allende.  We left Matehuala at 9 a.m. and picked up some fresh whole wheat bolillos and a chile relleno to make a delicious breakfast torta.  The highway this time of year is packed with paisanos and many of them are driving like there is no tomorrow.  

Blue skies all the way, in fact, it has been that way since Thursday and it makes for some great picture taking from the road.  We usually go down Hwy 57 to Dr. Mora which takes you to Los Rodriguez and then to SMA.  This trip we took the exit to Dolores Hidalgo and it is a lonely two-lane road through the countryside.   You can really see the plains of Guanajuato on this route and it is a bit shorter plus we didn't have to drive through SMA which we had heard was packed with tourists.  This route brings you right to the rv park Hotel San Ramon.

We arrived to a warm welcome from Bill, Gail, Paula, and Jerry.   We had a glass of wine and went to bed very early.   I was pooped.   I fell asleep around 8:30 and now it's 6:40 a.m.  We are heading off with the other two rvers in about an hour.   Nothing to unhook, we just leveled the trailer and left it at that.

It will be an interesting drive.  We haven't traveled with other rvers for many, many years.
