Day of the Dead with Dolly in San Miguel de Allende – Lots of Great Reviews!
San Miguel de Allende , Gto, Mexico
Experience possibily the most famous festival in Mexico! Day of the Dead (Dia de Los Muertos) is several days of painted faces, parades, orange marigolds, candles, beautiful altars, music and dancing. It’s a time when families honor their deceased loved ones with cemetery visits and favorite foods. It’s joyful and it’s reverent. It’s uniquely Mexico.
Perhaps you’ve heard that San Miguel is one of the most popular small cities in the world. It’s charming, beautiful, with great restaurants and galleries, it’s full of artists and writers, both foreign and local Mexican. I live in Colonia Guadalupe, one of the neighborhoods that’s been compared to Soho because of its coffee shops, galleries and a small grocery store that has most everything, plus an organic produce shop. It’s a mixed neighborhood of Mexican and foreign residents. A real community.
My pup Dolly is a rescue, a terrier mix about 7 years old. She’s a lover. I never thought at this point in life I’d get another dog, but then the pandemic hit. We were both lonely, and now I can’t imagine life without her.
My apartment is small, in a complex with four other units. Neighbors are US, all friendly. Claudia is our housekeeper; she cleans each apartment once a week. My day is Monday. Oscar and Victor are our gardener and handyman who can help with most anything. You’ll enjoy a great kitchen with dishwasher and disposal, a new fridge, a full bath and half bath, and a washer/dryer shared by the residents. We’re close to parks, a major gallery complex and plenty of shops. The one deal breaker for some might be the size of the bed. It’s a matrimonial, or double bed. Great for cuddling if you’re a couple. There’s also a sofa bed on the sun porch and a shared roof terrace that’s perfect for watching fireworks! Excellent internet, Netflix too.
Thanks so much! We look forward to getting to know you.
All the best, Janet and Dolly
There are no plants to water. Yay!

Responsibilities
You’ll need to take Dolly out in front of our building first thing (7-8:00) for a quick pee and poop. Then breakfast. Later morning (10-12:00) we go to a park or coffee shop or on a grocery run. Dolly loves people and other pups so watching life go by is great fun. Late afternoon it’s a short walk around the block, then supper. Last time out for a quick pee and poop around 9:00 p.m.There are no plants to water. Yay!
