Lauren was on vacation in Mexico with friends when she walked into a restaurant in San Miguel de Allende because the menu had a vegetarian option. That restaurant was Buenos Aires Bistro. The chef behind it was Mariano. The rest, as they say, is a love story that belongs entirely to San Miguel de Allende.

They came back to the city where it all started for their anniversary session, wandering through the colonial streets, the colorful papel picado overhead, and finishing the afternoon on the rooftop of Rosewood San Miguel de Allende as the light turned gold over the town’s famous skyline. That view from the Rosewood rooftop is one of the best in all of Mexico, and it shows.

Mariano said their love story is just part of the magic of San Miguel de Allende, a beautiful coincidence. I think he’s right.

Lauren & Mariano, thank you for having me along. Until next time.
