Despite my blanket and my heater, I was cold at night and had to be given yet another blanket. We actually had a couple of cloudy and windy days as well. Muy frio!! Since I'd left my woolen vest in Daniel's car, I had only one remaining warm top garment, my fleece jacket, and it was far from adequate. Luckily ...

... to add to the school's Day of the Dead altar. Maestra L. explained that it was customary to write your name on a sugar skull before putting it on the ofrenda. In this way when spirits visited the altar they would know who had created the altar for them. Before we headed back to school we stopped by 'flower row', where we purchased marigolds (Day of the Dead flowers), red cockscomb, and baby's breath. <br><br>Back at the school, we went to ...

... I found my bags and made a mental note that the next set of luggage I buy should be neon yellow so that I could spot them in the sea of dark colored suitcases.<br><br>Through the airport terminal I went, to the adjoining bus terminal where I purchased a $20 USD ticket to Queretaro on Primera Plus. The bus stops weren't labeled, but the nice ticket seller took the time to walk me to the stop. Twenty minutes ...

Encore une fois de retour à Queretaro, cette fois avec maman et les soeurettes ! <br>Queretaro, selon moi la plus belle ville du Mexique parmi celles que j'ai pu visiter...et où j'ai vécu entre janvier et septembre 2007.<br><br>Pleine d'églises multicolores, de ruelles sympathiques, de fundas où la nourriture est délicieuse (surtout "La fuente de Lupita", situ ...

Queretaro is the last of the colonial cities on the Camino Real between Mexico City & Santa Fe - having done a long run of them I'm colonialled out! Still, have had a good wander around - can't actually enter anything as all shut because of the swine flu, but then i was never one for chuirches & museums anyway! At least most of the bars & restaurants are still open - the open air ones are ...

So anyway, my friend Rachel and I flew from St. Louis to LAX and then from LAX to Mexico City.
