Day 1 - Leon to San Miguel

Reasonably uneventful flight from Houston. Hour and a half drive to San Miguel. Lots of families eating picnics along the road. Lots of feral or semi-feral burros and goats. Pockets of traffic. Turns out today was St. Martin day and there is a three day festival in a town along the way (St. Martin, perhaps?). Twice we came upon small parades of 50 or so people, led by a religious banner, marching down the road. Some of the people had walked all day to get to the village 45 minutes from Leon to get their animals, children, etc. blessed. The roads are narrow but no one seems to mind. The horseback parades stayed in the brush and carried a banner too.
