Arrived in San Miguel

Didn't post on travel day, July 5. Too exhausting. All connections were met right on time, which in this day and age is juuust fine. Last leg - the 90 min bus ride in a sit-up-straight shuttle bus from the Leon airport to San Miguel - was pretty tough. Then another half hour just in San Miguel to drop off the other passengers - we were last on the list. The city is big yet quaint, very very hilly, very narrow streets, all roads are cobblestone rock and way bumpy. Sort of like Italy at 1/8th price - we'll take it.

Steve and Kirk's house is absolutely incredible. I have never seen a living space like it. 5 levels tall and all connected by a beautifully realized mini-maze of outside stair paths. Here are the pictures, starting with the low courtyard level and going up to the top.
