Mision San Gil Queretaro Hotel

... 8221; he says. Moises is great. He gets Kevin’s joke and laughs right along with us.

The major horrifying symptoms appear to have subsided as I can now make it from bed to bathroom without passing out. After 36 hours the thought of food is no longer turning my stomach so I try a bit of the chicken soup Juanita, our housekeeper has made for me. The soup tastes great and I am a little surprise since just 12 ...

... as well. Guy goes to a lot of trouble to make this meal special, and it's always exciting to see what wonderful new concoction she's produced. She was making little desserts every day, but I got the feeling that this was mainly for my benifit, so I explained that I really didn't need the calories - and she's stopped. She says that we all need to slim down in preparation for all the eating that will take place in December.

She and her husband ...

... about it. I’ve always thought my in-laws are a little crazy but this solidified my opinion. They actually agreed to pay for half of it, sight unseen, in a city they’ve never been to before. Our dream to have a multigenerational family retreat in a land of abundant sunshine was about to become reality.

Buying a house in Mexico is easy. There’s no bank loan, prequalification or interest rate to concern yourself with. You simply give ...

... odd things in my bags and feel a bit silly as I’m moving bake ware and wooden spoons from one bag to another. My once orderly bags are now a tangle of clothing, electronics and kitchen essentials and I realize that in the end all I really care about is that my bottle of fish sauce arrives intact. What would life be without my Masmum Curry? I don’t think I’m ready to find out.

Not until I’m ...

... br>Nous passons donc toute la journée à nous ballader dans les ruelles et les nombreuses places, tout en dégustant les spécialités locales. Le soir nous avons la chance d'assister à une "estudiantina", des groupes folkloriques qui se promènent dans la rue en chantant des airs typiques et en dansant. (regardez les vidéos).

Nous terminons par une soirée arrosée à la tequila...

Well, I arrived in Queretaro on December 30. My flight landed in Mexico City, and I had to take a bus to Queretaro which was about 3 hours and cost $25. The prices here are not nearly as cheap as the other Latin American Countries that I have visited, especially bus and air travel. New years eve was a lot of fun. Grace and I spent the first part of the night in the historic center of Queretaro where there was a rather large festival going on. There are about 3 main plazas in ...

... attendait une surprise, attendue de tous. Et quelle surprise. C'est le groupe musical ''Tuna Madrigal de Guanajuato'' qui nous a accueillis au son de sa musique typiquement mexicaine. Une bonne dizaine de musiciens nous ont entraînés à travers les rues étroites de la ville au son de leur musique entraînante. Atmosphère festif, ruelles pittoresques, sérénades, le tout rehaussé d'une tequila pour réchauffer nos coeurs et ajouter à notre bonne humeur ...

... Un 5 à 7 est offert par le Jeffe de Caravana avec une petite surprise pour le serre-file et la caravane No 19... une bouteille de champagne gardée pour eux du dernier 5 à 7. Petite session de photo pour le journal de bord. Petit meeting et ensuite, les participants sont invités à déguster les petites grignottines. Les participants retournent ensuite dans leurs unités pour le repas du soir. Avant de terminer, petite anecdote... On nous a ...

... are too narrow for buses. We immediately happened upon folk dances in a plaza next to a fountain framed by rows of square trimmed trees. Most nights since then there have been dance performances, live music, or festivals taking place in the numerous plazas and gardens, with crowds of friendly, well-dressed people enjoying the cool evening air. Particularly interesting was the Procession of Silence on Good Friday, wherein hundreds of people move ...

... The campus here is really nice and a lot smaller than NC State, with only about 5,000 students. And, the nice thing is that I run into people that I have met here on campus all the time and already feel like a part of the school. On the downside, my focus on school is being tested because it is very easy to procrastinate and hang out the whole day in between my classes instead of doing my schoolwork! The classes that I'm taking are: World Politics (a class in ...
