Gringa al Pastor

The ultimate Mexican after-pub bite:  awesome marinated pork kebab -right off the spit- with guacamole, in a wheat tortilla.

All washed down with a Pacifico beer.

San Miguel de Allende

A lovely colonial town, some four hours away from the chaos of Mexico City.

Full of retired Americans, living the utopian life of the lazy gringo, learning Spanish, painting and enjoying the lifestyle that is just not possible to live any longer in the First World.

An absolutely stunning place: we might as well retire there one day.
