Yesterday we drove back up to Hidalgo. That is where the start of the Mexican Independence began in 1810. It is a real neat little village about 65 miles from here.
Before I go to Hidalgo I want to share this video I took last weekend in one of the plazas here in Queretaro - one of the high schools was putting on a big production there - this is a group of the high school teachers dancing those are trays with open bottles of beer- remember to right click and open in a different window
now back to Hidalgo - just some photos
It had to have been 80 degrees out - she has on long sleeves, her apron and her shawl.
Here's another method of delivering the milk
There is always music being played somewhere in every town
One of the stores we passed while driving down the street - they are getting modern
She was sitting in a doorway across the street from the underware store - wonder what she was thinking
Lots of ceramic produced in Hidalgo - how would you like to face this first thing in the morning after a night of imbibing?
This was spectacular - it is tile - Talavara - it is a rug about 5 x 7 Yummmmmm!
Here are some more pictures of Hidalgo that I put together for my web page - hope you enjoy them - we bought the dishes and have them I hope packed well in the basement of Alfie.

Jennie we are staying at Juriquilla Hotel and RV it is in Church's book pg 256 3rd edition but used to be called Azteca. We also stayed here 30 years ago. Its just north of town on 57. Easy to get into and out of. Restaurant and gas station. Has internet in the restaurant.
