Yesterday morning, I was leaving Guanajuato for Queretaro. I left the hostel at about 9am, wanting to be at the coach station for about 10, but in the end I was there for 9.20. I knew from the previous day's enquiries that there was a145 pesos bus at 10.30 and a 133 pesos bus at an unknown time. So I went to the cheaper counter to ask and was told there wasn't one until 6pm. My 3rd option was to get the 9.30 economico to San Miguel (where I was the day before) and then another from San Miguel to Queretaro. That would probably take longer but leaving an hour earlier might just mean the arrival time wouldn't be that different. And it only came in at 123 pesos over all. 22 pesos, better in my ... read more

As I begin my ninth and final entry to this trips blog I look back with great memories some challenging moments I feel blessed that I was able to go to San Miguel De Allende. After taking a 3 hour bus trip from Queretero to Mexico City starting at 9:00AM We arrived home late Friday night 12:00 midnight exhausted but happy to be home in our own place. Nothing is better than returning home and finding all as you eft it. So now a rainy but quiet Sunday afternoon I thought I would put up some random pictures and videos of the last few days of our trip. After my last entry on the 2nd I took a few days off from the Blog and then the remaining time just flew by. We kept so busy ... read more

Tepic, Nayarit, a 30 de noviembre del 2009. Muchos saludos a todos. Ahí van unas fotos de la zona de monumentos históricos de Querétaro, nombrada por la UNESCO como patrimonio de la humanidad. Su nombre completo y verdadero es "Santiago de Querétaro", pero nadie se refiere a ella por su nombre completo, salvo documentos oficiales; imagínense antes, para referirse a ella tenían que poner: "en la ciudad de Santigado de Querétaro del Estado de Querétaro de Arteaga"... demasiado rollo... (ya arreglaron el nombre del Estado, ahora falta el de la ciudad). La ciudad es grande (600 mil almas queretanas + los turistas), pero no abundo mucho en platicar de la ciudad porque es famosa y ustedes ya la conocen. Es muy bonita y por todos lados venden "gorditas", que aquí en Querétaro son mucho más grandes ... read more

North America » Mexico » Querétaro » Bernal December 29th 2009

Morelia, Michoacán, a 27 de noviembre del 2009. Saludos a todos. Pues aquí ando en tierra purépecha, ya en camino de regreso hacia Tijuana debido a la brevedad del tiempo y el presupuesto. Como ya voy sobre el tiempo, lugar que no alcanzo a visitar, lugar que me tengo que saltar, y lamentablemente no pude darme una vuelta por Taxco e Iguala (por tonto, por retrasarme y elegir mal el itinerario), pero volveré... Pues bueno.... ahora les mando unas poquísimas fotos de Bernal, Querétaro, nombrado "pueblo mágico" por la SECTUR, nombramiento muy merecido, tanto por lo pintoresco del pueblo como por las leyendas sobre el mismo. El gran y principal atractivo del lugar es la "Peña" o "Peñón", que es ni más ni menos que el tercer monolito más alto del mundo con 350 metros, lo ... read more

There are quite a lot of overweight Mexicans. no surprise really when thereare tasty deep fried snacks on every corner. Gorditas are a particular fave in the area. Literally meaning little fatties, they are maize pattie type things filled with your choice of cheese, potato, cactus leaf, beef, chicken and of course, chilli. On the road, you really appreciate a good, wholesome and cheap dinner and Queretaro really came up trumps. Mi Kza, just around the corner of the Red Giraffe hostel was 35 peso well spent (1.50) for a soup, a main meal with salad and veg, a pudding and a 2 litre jug of home made juice! It´s a quaint little city and famous for being the starting point for the revolution. They are proud of their heritage, even the rather risque story of ... read more

I arrived in Queretaro around 8:00 p.m. The hostel I stayed at was cool. The owner was a young dude that used to live in the States, so his English was really good, but we primarily spoke in Spanish. He showed me to my quarters where I met Christian (an Italian dude...he was cool). As me and Christian got to talking, he told me about this town he just visited where there was a huge rock he hiked to. The town is called Bernal. He showed me some photos and it looked really cool. He advised that I should visit the place. This is the cool thing about traveling freely (and its happened a few times), you meet someone and they tell you about a place they visited that you never heard of or ever considered. ... read more

Good Day/Morning/Evening All, **Right now they've turned the lights off in the mall and we are being asked to leave (I think) we have more videos and pictures they just take too long to down load**** Brad and I are at an internet cafe at a mall in Queretaro with some very loud spanish music playing. We ended up staying in a really rough place last night in a hotel bus stop. We were warned of a double murder up the road the night before so we stayed stealth. Employed all the standard Reynolds tricks. We left there and made our way South again with our little tourist glossy map. Brad is now typing. We have passed many a poor dead dog and puppies people have seemed to haphazardly thrown from their pick ups. I guess ... read more
