We left Teotihuacan and drove north to San Miguel for a few days. SMA is a ridiculously photogenic city—colorful people, colorful buildings, and an iconic church with a plaza out front that sucks everybody in.
The lady running this machine saw the kids watching and quickly rolled a couple tortillas up for them. They were delicious, apparently, and the kids are now convinced the lady put salt on them. I think they just tasted great because they were piping hot and fresh, but they insist.
The lady selling these balloons at ten pesos a pop retired as a millionaire after this week. I imagine she also has some sort of deal worked out with the guy who has access to the roof of this building. There must be hundreds of balloons up there.

Food tips:
Cheesecake at El Petite Four, best we ever had
Jicama tacos con camarones at La Azotea. Divine
Ginger margaritas at La Sirena Gorda. So good!
Enjoy!
OMG – Those flour tortillas look so tasty.
We had to resort to making our own here in the islands. They are hard to find. We are getting pretty good at it but have a ways to go.

Amazing pictures as usual. San Miguel is beautiful, but getting soooo busy…
Not at this time of year. Just Mexican tourists. Gringos are all back north of the border for the summer.
Have you been to the botanical gardens above Los Balcones. It is lovely there, one of my favorites spots.
Also the Baja Fish Taco place has a nice rooftop where we spent a lot of time in the three months we spent there. Cheap and cheerful. Are you staying at San Ramon?
I think we were there for less than 24 hrs. and my daughter was sporting a “corona” of flowers. What’s your secret?
Hi Pat,
My parents live in San Miguel. Here is a link to their gallery.
