... sales witnessed at street side vendors, a lot of Mexicans enjoy the "offal" and brains as much as I enjoy a good steak. You can say what you want about the "offal" but there is no mincing of words when it comes to the chicken sold in Mexican markets. The plucked chickens have a beautiful yellow color and based on the chicken we ate in rotisseries - delicious. My only complaint about the rotisseries was that they closed early and ...

... by the crowd and invited to don the blindfolds and take our turn swinging with a bat at the piñata. Both of us were unsuccessful to break the piñata. That was for the better since it is preferable that that pleasure should be left to a child. Our next and last exposure to a posada was in Tequisquiapan where we also followed along in a posada procession. In neither of our two experiences did the posada procession knock on anyone's door etc ...

... séparent et chacun a sa propre façon de conduire. Il faut donc faire des arrêts fréquents le long de la route pour se regrouper pour les passages importants comme les douanes, les changements de route et les entrées aux endroits de stationnement pour la nuit. Cette première sortie s'est bien passé pour nous ; le chef de caravane a eu des problèmes avec ses lumières et a dû changer un fusible, un autre a cassé sa clef dans la serrure en fermant un de ses coffres et a dû le coller avec ...

WEATHER: sunny and pleasantly warm TOTAL MILEAGE: no driving. All currency is in pesos. We decided to spend another night at this hotel and spend the day as total tourists, going out three times. In the late morning, we went to the Alameda- it had fewer gardens then the one in Queretaro but did have a pretty pond with geese and other birds. We also wandered around the train yard- not as attractive but, as this is an old mining ...

... and the hotel has at least one restaurant and an unusually emerald green pool. Of course, there is A/C, cable and good drinking water. There is an interior parking garage. In the early evening, we took a walk and ate at a cafe a few blocks away. Some of this area is blocked off to traffic, which makes walking a pleasure. I enjoyed strolling the plazas around us- and we saw a beautiful rainbow from our room!

... humans with there heads in there hands, some where pulling there hair out and generally looking distraught. We saw more than enough of that and moved on to the Jaguars and Ocelots who were not much better off in smallish cages and exposed to lots of burning hot sunlight. They looked very worn out. Sam was particularly saddened, being a big cat himself, we got to a cage with a big black Jaguar in it and it got up and looked Sam right in the eye. It was really weird to see Jaguars ...

A short day trip. Delores Hidalgo is the home of the church from which on September 16, 1810 padre Miguel Hedalgo y Costilla issued the Grito de la Independencia spawning the Mexican Independence movement. Subsequently excommunicated and eventually beheaded, Hidalgo is a national hero for whom countless streets & plazas are named throughout the country. Despite its' historical significance, the town ...

Q`vo gente, I write to you from my birthplace: Zacatecas, Mexico. This is something that my family and I do every year, if we can. This is already the sixth time I have been fortunate enough to do so. There is a cyber cafe next to my grandmother`s house and so every day that passes by I am tempted to come and send out my next travel log about my three week backpacking trip to the northern ...

We took a one day side trip to neighboring Queretaro, a city of about 1 million people with a light industrial and distribution base for good employment. It has a historical town center that is very flat and easily walkable. It was also a center of the Mexican Independence in 1810. You can get there easily from SMA by bus and it is worth about 1/2 to 3/4 of a day. Various tour groups also do day trips from SMA and you could hire a driver/ guide but going by ...

... is but two blocks from the main plaza. The cost is only $16 per night. Got my cycle through the front door with the help of the local motorcycle traffic cop. It is parked five feet from the main desk! We took a guided one-hour tour of the city in a small bus made to look like a trolley car. It was in Spanish, of course. Picked up enough of what was said though to make it real interesting. We learned that the city is approaching one ...
