Hotel Quinta Real Zacatecas - A Summit Hotel

... spot to build! <br><br>Down the hill were two cemeteries teaming with people paying respect to those who had passed on. I was amazed to find that some people had brought tents to camp out by their loved ones. I heard no weeping as I walked through the cemetery, but rather the sounds of children playing, family members talking to one another and musicians performing in front of graves. The air smelled of marigolds- the flower of the Day of the ...

<br> Buzz decided to take us to this little city and it was a great idea. We liked this town a lot because it was more our style; less crowded, more laid back, definitely more the hippy part of town. This reminded us of Cabbage Town in Atlanta, or the North side of Chicago. This part of town is called DF (Distrito Federal). We just relaxed here all day, stopping at a coffee bar and later a bar called Graffiti. Here Buzz introduced me to a Michelada ...

Los Cabo's is awesome, it is a town revolved around tourism. Everyone is trying to sell you something. We went to Cabo Wabo because my husband has never been there. He bought me a cowboy hat, cool black vintage looking thing, he said it reminded him of Babe Firefly from Devils Rejects, there was an Official Corona store slash bar, so I got a Bathing Suite, and we had some beers there ...

Spent wonderful 2 weeks in Mexico with Nige before starting the trip for real in Peru.<br><br>Spent first couple of days in mexico city then headed north for a train ride through canyon country. Scenary was unbelievable with a few night stopovers for a bit of sightseeing and walking.<br><br>Having done a week of touring and sightseeing, second week spent relaxing on the coast in Baja California to the west of mexico. The hotel was quite impressive. We even had our own butler ...

... I met and scanned the small ads but only found two places, the first being full & the second not worth the huge amounts of money - the city is not set up for this type of tourism. Back up plan was to find a hostel with kitchen - when staying somewhere for 2 weeks plus food costs soon add up if eating out all the time, but the preferred place, for vibe, value and location, was booked up so ended up in 3 different places over the period! The hostel had a weekly magarita ...

... we are just about to go to bed after this last game of Stop The Bus. I'm hoping to get the missus into the hot tub illuminated by the estrellas and unos candelarias. I'l let you know how that goes ;o) Adios todos nos amigos Well its the day after the day I wrote this last email so an update. I did get Haley in to the springs that night but only for a minute as it wasn't as warm as we had of hoped. After we got to bed Galen threw up all over my other ...

... Zacatecas - Jardin Enrique Estrada and Quinta Real Part 3 of 5 --------------------------------------- -------------------- In this blog I would like to revisit two places which I wrote about recently - Jardin Enrique Estrada and Quinta Real. I confess the main reason I am revisiting these two places is to archive the photos taken at the time. In the evening, the city took on a wonderful glow ...

... altitude. As a basis of comparison, as I mentioned in Blog no. ------ Mona Loa, the highest mountain on Big Island is 12,000 feet. We arrived at the bus station in the early afternoon of a sunny Saturday. Our taxi driver drove us across the downtown area of the city past shops, local shoppers, Christmas visitors and lovely old architecture and left us at the entrance of the Hotel San Francisco with a sense of excited anticipation. Right from the ...

... a stopover in that cute village staying in a Family-Business-Hotel I continue to Durango, where I could solve a little electric problem in front of a small motorcycle workshop, whithout to ask one of the bored mechanics for help. I recognize in the area very much water with even flooded landscapes. A Mexican talks about a Hurrican, who brought (from Distance) all that rain. It goes on to Zacataca, where I get to know in the Hostel a mate on an Advanture who's got the same route.

I meet 2 English guys on the bus and we arrive in Zacatecas at 6am after a 13hr bus ride. We hop on the local bus to take us to the city centre. I have organised to met a girl named Ale through Couchsurfing.com here in Zacatecas. I meet her for coffee the following day and she shows me around her city. Zacatecas is an elegant colonial city in central Mexico. In addition to it's fine colonial buildings, constructed of pink sandstone, it maintains a great partying ...
