La Querencia Queretaro

... roja torta (a tamale with red chili and cheese put inside bread!) and some delicious chocolate atole. I stood around with other people and ate my warm breakfast and watched as vendors put up their wares in their market stalls.<br><br>I headed over to the school and received a warm welcome from the staff before my first lesson. I then headed into the room named "Chiapas" (which was decorated with beautiful tapestries from the state of Chiapas ...

... historico" - there are new housing developments outside of centro historico - the town is a favorite destination for the upper classes of Mexico City and Queretaro - Queretaro International Airport is only 20 minutes away - it is a spa town - we always felt safe and secure while walking around the "centro historico" in day and night time Disadvantages: - very few ex-pats (some may see ...

... experience I became a history nerd in Mexico City and in a truly grown up fashion I visited The Trotsky Museum. This was where he lived when he was exiled from Russia when Lenin died and Stalin took power ...

... Despite the noise, I have found the town to be utterly charming, with some great restaurants. A plus for the village is that it has less traffic than one usually sees. In addition, the streets around the town square are pedestrian only. We entered Mexico at McAllen two weeks ago and took the cuota (toll road) through Monterrey and south to San Luis Potosi. We stopped for a visit at ...

... quesadillas, chilaquiles (kind of like nachos), etc. that a girl can take before she's ready for a change!

... One particular walk was to the top of a hill where the monument to El Pipila overlooks the city. Pipila was the hero who torched the Alhondiga gates enabling Hidalgo's forces to gain an important early victory in the independence movement. After the tough climb up we took the funicular down. Annette wishes we had taken it up also. The pedometer will for sure display 10,000 steps today. To start the day off, I awoke to find that my Seiko had quit running at 1:50 AM, this after 7 ...
