San Miguel de Allende is located in the Guanajuato state of Mexico. It is an eight hour drive southwest from Monterrey and a three hour drive directly east of Mexico city.
A group of co-workers and myself made the long drive there one weekend to celebrate Mexico’s “Dia de Independencia”, or independence day. It is also a colonial town, and is named after Ignacio Allende, a hero in the movement where Mexico gained independence of Spain. Apparently, San Miguel is also the home of the largest number of American expatriates in Mexico.
San Miguel is like something out of a fairytale. The historical centre was spotless and well manicured, and the main cathedral was reminiscent of a structure dreamed up by Disney.
Dia de Independencia celebrations were in full swing while we were there. The streets were packed with people, there were fireworks in the evening, and lights and Mexican flags hung from lamp posts and were draped over buildings. My co-workers and I decided to dress up in Mexico’s national colours (red, white, and green) to get ourselves into the spirit. 
We also enjoyed shopping in the shopping in the markets for silver and various other brick-a-brack. The teeny tiny shops selling souvenirs and clothing didn’t disappoint. I bought a traditional Mexican shirt (pictured above) and contemplated buying the hat pictured below.
