Queretaro

We arrived in Queretaro just in time for a cold spell. We ended up having to wear our warm gear the entire time in Queretaro. We met some more cool people at the hostel. There was a couple, Anders and Sally, that was just moving to Queretaro. So, it was interesting learning how they were dealing with the move. There was also a girl from England, Peggy. She was actually moving to Argentina for 3 years to do a teaching job. These people are courageous, I love it! What an exciting move to make in life. I'm not actually sure where we spent all of our time in Queretaro...but here are some pics of the city.

This is a view from the mirador near our hostel. Cutting throught the center of the photo is a huge aquaduct that runs through the city.


These bull heads were mounted in a cantina we went to for a couple of drinks. I just love how it reminded me of Wisconsin. When you enter a bar in Wisconsin, it's deer heads, but in Mexico, it's bulls!


Inside the Convent in Queretaro. When this was built, water from the aquaducts flowed directly into this building. The height of the highest arch in this building is the same height as the aquaduct.


There is a tree that grows inside of the Convent. Really interesting that the thorns on the tree are shaped like crosses.

Sunset from the top of the Convent. You can see the dowtown church in the sunset.
