10th January '09

The hotel we found was absolutely brilliant, Hotel Meson de Obispado; typically Mexican (unfinished building works) but charming, clean, comfortable and very reasonable (about £30 for a twin). The restaurant we chose was a tourist trap, but ok. The company’s good.

I woke far too early, not yet adjusted to the time difference, but after dozing off was awakened about 6.30 by the clanging of church bells (making up for quality by competing in the “who’s got the clangiest clang?”). I lay there listening to the birds (do sparrows tweet in a foreign tweet?); the lowing train; another, very exotic sounding, bird; the dawn light stretching…

Today, after some touristing, we’ll be making our way to San Miguel and seeing our place for the first time.
