San Miguel de Allende
17-March-2016
The blog has taken a few days off while we relax and see the sights in this very popular town
The San Patricio's were a group of US Army immigrant Irishmen who, for a variety of reasons, switched sides and joined the mexican army to fight against the US during the Mexican-American war (1846-1848).
While the San Patricio's were known for their bravery in battle, their side did not prevail, and many of the surviving members were ultimately tried for treason. The luck of the Irish.
The San Patricio's are still revered in both Mexico and Ireland.
On this Saint Patrick's day, our first inMexico, we send best wishes to our friends Pat and Frank Clark and wish we could attend their annual parade and party.
Perhaps a little green mescal?
