A Pemex station we stopped at on the way down. *

Nobody pumps their own gas in Mexico, like Oregon. *

Northern Mexico is scrub desert, not very pretty. *

The gas station had a convenience store in it.

They're named Oxxo, and they're pretty much like convenience stores in the US. *

Another Pemex station, further down, and Patty, Irma's mom. *

The view out over San Miguel de Allende *

*

*

Notice the churches in the center of town. *

Patty go so scared when I abruptly pulled into the overlook that she had to have some pie. *

*

San Miguel's a pretty town. Lots of Americans. *

*

Aunt Maria, Irma, and Patty, Irma's mom. *

Irma and Jeff! *

The lake near San Miguel. *
