The following Saturday afternoon, Maria Teresa, Palomita and myself
were off to an exceptionally beautiful and surreal hacienda located close to the
pueblo of Dolores Hidalgo, about 35 miles from San Miguel. Maria Teresa
had decided to drive and Palomita and I were glad to see someone else would
be responsible for accepting the life threatening challenges of driving in
Mexico. The hacienda was one of several old chili pepper plantations that
produced crops prolifically many years ago and afforded the owners a
comfortable lifestyle.
The owners of the plantation had been able to travel the world over
collecting relics, art and furnishings from faraway places and with these, had
enhanced the hacienda in a way that would make Salvador Dali green with
envy. There were Buddhas in the gardens, Chinese arches over the patios, and
pagodas and Indian deities placed strategically throughout. There was even a
barroom decorated like a medieval bordello, complete with mirrors and red
velvet curtains. Finding something like this in the interior of Mexico impressed
me.
Upon arrival, a high wall and a correspondingly large, wooden gate
entrance greeted us. As our car approached, a handsome young man opened the
gateway into the courtyard. A long row of simple rooms designed with a
portico and decorated with comfortable chairs and small tables adorned the
left side of the parking area. Each of the ceremony guests received their own
personal room.
Though the hacienda was lovely and quaint, the original owners had long
been gone and, unfortunately, the whole operation was in some disrepair.
