Delores is also known as a center for the fabrication and design of Talavera pottery and ceramics. Which is why we made our way over there. And now we are proud owners of a gorgeous set of dinnerware for 12. I think it must have come with almost 100 pieces - all for a sweeeeet deal. Even Pete bought a set for himself to take home. Because like he could resist. Please.
We left Delores Hidalgo and stopped in San Miguel de Allende for lunch before heading home. San Miguel is a popular tourist spot for wealthy Mexico City residents. Interestingly, there is also a large American and Canadian expat community here comprised mostly of retirees. I didn't really see the lure. To visit, yes. But to retire? I don't know. Then again, we were only there for two hours. One-quarter of which M spent screaming bloody murder in a restaurant bathroom. So... you know. The appeal may have been dampened somewhat in the deafening roar of her tantrum.
And now, if you can believe it...
The end.

Wonderful set of photos!
Loved hearing about your adventures and seeing all the pictures! Your pictures are awesome -- makes me feel like I was there too!
Oh my goodness, BRAVO BRAVO Noelle! I loved all of the pictures! Now I'm thinking I need to do a better job documenting our trips...ugh. I didn't know that Central Mexico Talavera was the stuff with the super bright colors. I thought it was all done in Puebla which is probably why I had a hard time finding the brightly painted stuff our last time there. I love the pattern you picked out. I don't even want to know what you paid...it would be too tempting.
We stayed a weekend in San Miguel de Allende. I could retire there, I loved all the color, plus there was an awesome botanical garden up above the city.
