Long Weekend In SMA - A Place With Great Views

living.boondockingmexico@yahoo.com

When we were in SMA over the holidays we met a very nice couple who have four furkids.  They invited us to stay at their house for a long weekend.  We drove down on Tuesday late in the afternoon and spent the night at Las Palmas.  We didn't bring the rv but it was fun remembering our trips and stops in Matehuala at this famous hotel.

Up early on Wednesday, we wanted to arrive around noon and we almost did.  The cold front had come through Tuesday night and in the morning it was cold, windy and wet.  The drive took a bit longer than I had anticipated because of several accidents with semis and the rain and wet roads.

We made one stop at the Paradero San Luis which is located at the toll booth as you enter San Luis Potosi.  A hot coffee and torta to go and off we went.  Because our friends live on the north side of SMA we took the first exit off of Hwy 57 to Dolores Hidalgo.  Doing that we arrived just before 1 p.m.

As you can see, we will have a relaxing weekend here.  The views are incredible not to mention the sunsets.  We can see the lake in SMA, Atotonilco and the edge of Dolores Hidalgo.  

It was a bit hazy yesterday but you can see the lake in the picture below.  

We're up pretty high so you really get a good view of the valley.

Friends from Canada are here also and we hope to see them as well as having an early dinner with our friend Barbara.  We will return home on Wednesday in the morning.
