San Miguel de Allende: Images of the Top Destination City, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

If you’ve been following this blog (and why wouldn’t you be? SUBSCRIBE HERE), you’d know that my daughter and I traveled to Mexico for two weeks back in May. It was originally planned as a trip to the dentist to get an implant put in. I mean, I was being charged over $5,000 for an implant here in South Florida - do you know how many cool lenses I can buy for that type of dough? Seriously. So, after lots of online research and reviews, I set up an appointment at Ideal Dental in Mexico City where I was charged $1,400 for the implant (phase one was a success - no pain or swelling). If you factor in the $250 round-trip flight from South Florida, I made out pretty good (still need to return in a few months to get the crown put in but I’m still coming out way ahead).

Then I started thinking, why waste a trip to Mexico with just a visit to the dentist? So I stretched it out from five days to two weeks. We started off in Mexico City where we visited its bustling Historic Center (pics HERE), the stunning Museo Nacional de Arte (pics HERE) and the holy city of Teotihuacán (pics HERE). From Mexico City, we took an Uber about 130 miles NW to the charming city of Querétaro (pics HERE) before heading to our next destination, San Miguel de Allende. ......
