¿Dónde estamos?

I will get some pictures of the town and of the house up soon, but today I got addicted to playing with Google Earth while down at PACEMD - Tony showed us how to take the bus from the plaza to the Tuesday market using the program so I had to find some familiar sites as soon as I got a chance....

This first image is of the place we are staying up the hill in Resedencial las Fuentes in Colonia Atascadero - about 10 minutes from the PACEMD site.
Hopefully you can actually see the tiny little yellow thumbtacks marking the specified locations.



It would be an OK walk down the hill to the PACEMD site, but walking up would be a pretty tough workout. Fortunately, taxis are plentiful here and the ride is only $2-3 each way. This is the general location and route from Residencial las Fuentes to PACEMD - which is right in the middle of town next to the main square.



This is a 3D-rendered picture showing the center of town with and demonstrating the surrounding hills/mountains.



This is a nice shot showing the bulk of the central area of town.....In the bottom right hand corner - the big circle - is the Plaza de Toros (the bullfighting ring) - PACEMD is marked again by a yellow thumbtack....





Again, the PACEMD site is marked by a barely visible thumbtack....





Last Sunday, we traveled by bus from Mexico City to San Miguel de Allende - about a 3.5 hour ride...




San Miguel de Allende is located in the central area of the country, north of Mexico City.





Google earth is ridiculously cool....
