I woke up early this morning and made myself a cup of coffee before heading to the Queretaro Language School which was a couple of blocks away. I had noticed the night before that there was a market two blocks north of the guest house, so I decided to swing by there on my way to the school. I'm glad I did because out front I saw a handful of vendors selling tamales and warm atole. I listened in as people ordered and then I myself ordered a ...

Still, once I feel the weight of my backpack on my shoulders and check my pocket for spending money, I know I'll get that elated feeling that I am where I need to be (which is anywhere I find myself). I have, after all, had my best moments and have been happiest with my pack on my back and some cash in my pocket ...

... the city today. A couple places on our list to see included the aqueduct and the Church of the Holy Cross. Both proved to be worthwhile. The aqueduct was an engineering marvel for that day.
