We woke to the whooshing sound of hot air balloons, which reminded me of
a balloon ride I'd taken over Goreme, in the Cappadocia area of Turkey.
Turns out, two balloons were directly over us, but I was upstairs and the camera downstairs. So I went downstairs, swapped the lens to a telephoto --- finally, a reason for having packed it --- then climbed to the roof. By then the two overhead had floated out of sight, but then I saw more, far in the distance.

This morning we hiked up the hill behind us to go to the botanical gardens, El Charco del Ingenio. It's about a half-hour walk. It's well worth it, only 50 pesos entrance fee, it has extensive trails, views of a duck-filled lake, and lots of desert plants well labelled in Spanish and English.

Our neighborhood coffee shop/cafe, Garambullo, makes a mean plate of enchiladas with a red sauce that packs a punch. Wish I could enjoy this in Canada.
