Living the Good Life in 'Rayon'....







Finally! It is always so hard to leave a place that I love and I love,love,love San Miguel de Allende, but let's admit it, being on the road and heading into parts unknown and unseen before, is so exciting. Being off the beaten-down, mexican campground path is very liberating. For the first time in Mexico, it is not 'where is the next campground?' that will determine the night's destination but 'where do we want to be?'. The possibilities are endless as are the little country pueblos on the way north and east to the Gulf Coast. Oh boy! So here it is, the lovely little spot on a loop road off the already small road, called 'Rayon'. I saw it on the map and decided that the name alone, warranted at least a peak. Well, could it be any cuter? And then we met Felix, the policeman washing his truck in front of the station on the Plaza and asked, ever so politely, if there might be a place to park and to spend the night? Of course, there was...right here in front of the Police Station! "Muy seguridad y muy tranquile". What a thrill...so much better than a noisy Pemex station and what a curiosity for the people of Rayon who are not living in a tourist destination but are just living.
