Queretaro - just a tease

[asirimarco]

This is our last day here in Queretaro - Will be around McAllen, TX sometime Tuesday aft - unless he gets a bug up his butt and we make it tomorrow.
This is where we are now

The aqueduct that was built in the 1700s 1200 meters lone - 74 arches highest 24 meters

another shot of it

One of the many churches

Another one - San Agustin - construction began 1731

More of it

House built in 1700s for the Marquis girl friend - walls are hand painted - original with some touch ups

Convent 1600s now a museum

Where the decree to give southern states CA, AZ, NM, TX to US was signed in 1848

Last night downtown - will have to write about it later

Hope I've whet your appitite for more about Queretaro - it is a really nice place.

What a tease.

Hey, if you are going to be in McAllen, you'll only be about 3 hours from me - and from Sparkle and tomorrow Karen gets here with her friend Carol. Forget McAllen and see if you can come up here! We're going to see Elvis tomorrow afternoon. (Not sure if there are sites available - but because of the bad weather, I'm guessing there are some). Karen will be here till Friday - so if you can't make if for Elvis - would love if you could meet up with some of us. And I know Sparkle and I want to talk to you about MX! And just meet ya!

I got a little feeling of sorrow that you were leaving Mexico, but I am being selfish. You've done a wonderful job of entertaining and educating us about Mexico. what a trip it has been. Thank you!

Looks like a lot of history there, Carol. Love noodling thru stuff like that. Looks like a lot of restoration has been done. Gonna miss your travelogue, tho. Where are you guys heading now, after McAllen? Sure would be fun if you could meet up with some of the crew in Aransas.
