Mexico Rental, Villa Cheap
Working in the yard all weekend was great but it made me think of places rented complete with yard staff. Tim Leffel’s blog happened to deal with just such travel options as renting when abroad. I also have always felt it was a great option. I remember fondly renting places for a week where my son and his friend could ramble on their own picking up bits of Spanish. I could walk to markets and had a kitchen to work in, and a manicured yard to live a bit of colonial lifestyle. We found that the lady that came to clean offered great advice to really get into local happenings. Two places that come to mind right off are San Miguel and Guanejuato Mexico. The place in San had an amazing roof top view with enclosed garden and in Guanejuato it was an 18th century villa. For the price of 3 nights in NYC I had a home away from home. Tim by the way has a beach house in Mexico available for rent. For now I guess I’ll go back to work in the yard!

Hi there,
Villa renting in Guanajuato, you say? "Donde estuviste" which might mean "Where were you"?
You have written about Guanajuato before, I think. Here's a query: We're toying (otherwise known as 'hemming and hawing') with the notion of buying an old mill about 10 miles outside of town - in the decidedly undiscovered (really, adamantly undiscovered...In fact, maybe discovered it and covered it back up again) berg of Puentasillas, that toddlin' town filled with crumbling vestiges of Spanish granduer and pigs. Just beyond the regional prison, it's where the bus turns around (I think because the road's out).
In order to case the joint, and really see Puentasillas for wht it is, pigs and all, we'd like to figure out how to rent a room or a house in this tiny town. Do you have any notion how we might do that except to knock on people's doors and ask if we can live with them?
Any suggestion you have would be delightful.
Cheers,
Liz Kirchner
