I have a huge blogroll from all parts of the world. One of my feel good blogs is called Bob and Sophies French Adventure. Two Polish lowland sheepdogs living in a tiny part of France. The story begins 18 months ago with the arrival of the pups after having lost their predecessors years before. He his observations are wonderful in a witty way. Enjoy.
Thanks again for sharing San Miguel with us,our daily stop too!
Cheers, Shelagh
Hi Peter and Shelagh - I'll look at your blogroll and find that blog. Sounds enchanting. Thanks for stopping by daily. I guess I better write more often!
Peter and Shelagh - I misunderstood and thought you had a blog. I tried to find the blog Bob and Sophie's French Adventure, but nothing came up. Can you send me the website address? Thanks.

They are away right now, but his daily writings are so sweet. They original story was rather heartbreaking, his sidebar comments outline it. Enjoy.
Thanks for the "shout out" Barbara! I stumbled across your blog when I was researching for my first Winter in Mexico last Fall. Your info was (and continues to be!) extremely helpful!
Glad my "sun and sand" pics from Mazatlan helped warm up some of your cold SMA days last Winter.
I'm not sure where I'll end up in Mexico this coming Winter, but hope we eventually will cross paths in-person!
Lynne look forward to meeting you and Millie whenever you're in this neck of the woods!
Thanks Barbara, I always look forward to reading new and interesting blogs!
Thanks Shannon - I hope you'll enjoy all of them as much as I do!
Oh my! Thank you soooooo much for the links. I've just spent a bit over 3 hours (!) reading dondayinsma - I went back and read every post!
What a GREAT find! I can't recall ever being so excited about a blog since...well...since I found yours. Yes. YOU have taught me so much about my beloved city, and I've been with you since the beginning. You are appreciated more than you could ever know.
Now I must go tell Don how much I enjoy his posts but had to thank you first.
Being a "foodie" I'm in heaven!

Barbara, you've made my day! Thanks so much for letting me know how much you enjoy donday. You realize probably that donday is a play on the word Donde? Very clever. He and I have communicated and will get together when he returns from Canada this fall. I too enjoy his writing, a lot.
Babs - Always enjoy keeping up with San Miguel de Allende through you, and thanks for tolerating my random ramblings....
Thanks so much for the additional "plug" for my blog. When I look at my statistics I always find your blog listed as a traffic source of my visitors.
Muchas gracias!!
Postcards and Bill, Retired Teacher - I'm happy to pay it forward! Love to read both of you!

I have been looking for house sitting positions in SMA and Oaxaca. I fell in love with Puerto Vallarta, but the heat and humidity could be too much. In seeking a place in Mexico to live, I would like to get ideas from you on where to post for possible house sitting positions in SMA. Also looking for ideas of which areas to stay/rent/buy and which areas to avoid.
In following your blog, I see that it could truly be the place for me. I will look up the other blogs that you recently mentioned, and start following them also.
I do need help with my own blog also. Thanks!
Red cowboy boots for you if I get to SMA!
Hi Kelly Marie - Thanks for your comments.
San Miguel is a very compact, walkable town. There really aren't any "bad" places to live in my opinion. It's more about what you want such as views or close proximity to night life or restaurants or whatever. So I suggest to everyone that they rent a place for a month or two and discover that for themselves.
Finding house sitting is hard because there are so many people who would like to do so. There is Craigslist and the Atencion newspaper for starters. Hope you get here and check it out at some point. Look forward to meeting you.
What about a good rental site for 1-4 weeks. Just to see the town? Is one week enough to get a feel for the city?
I think 10 days would be better then just one week. There is the adjustment to the altitude and if you're going to spend the money to fly here, why not enjoy?
There is VRBO for house rentals and there is www.allmexicohotels.com for other accommodations. The Quinta Loreto is a great, though not fancy, little hotel right near the artesan's market and within blocks of the jardin that is a great place to stay. Look for it on the hotel site. It's around $50USD per night. Lots of expats stay there. Good luck.
