A neat bench that we saw on our tour around Mexico City.
This is Bellas Artes, a very beautiful theater in the heart of Mexico City. Nancy and I have attended concerts in it a couple of times but there was nothing going on when we were there.
That girl in the middle is Debi and she enjoyed it every bit as much as the boys.
We took Debi and Van on the Metro to the main market in Mexico City and this photo shows about 1/100th of it. It is a monster and a bit chaotic.
The zocolo, the central park, and the cathedral in Mexico City.
Not all the homes are beautiful in Mexico City.
In Queretaro, the main square is called the Garden Zenea and here it is.
We loved our spacious rooms in Queretaro. We had one just like this.
A statue across from the main square in Queretaro.
A small village on the side of a mountain on our way to Guanajuato.
Entertainment on a second class bus and he was very good.
Some of the neat architecture in Guanajuato, another day trip from Queretaro.
OH WOW!!!!!!!
On a day trip out of Queretaro to Teguis, Van has captured the main church through the portals of the square.
Remember in our last blog when we showed you the photos of the blue corn tortillas that were so yummy. Van captured a phote of the cooks and they giggled a lot when I tried to talk to them.
The government house in Puebla, a place we only stayed one night to break our trip from Queretaro to Veracruz.
A scene from the balcony of our Veracruz hotel. In the distance is the harbour.
Veracruz has been an important port in Mexico for many centuries and has been invaded many times. This old fort is a reminder of days gone by.
It is also a fishing city and the port has many fishing boats beautifying its harbour.
Van took some beautiful photos of the many different tiles in our hotel in Veracruz.
It was harvest time for the sugar cane and these trucks are loaded with sugar cane on their way to the mill. It is in the town of Tlacotalpan.
Agriculture in places is not so modern in Mexico. We saw much of this type of farming on the journey from Veracruz to Tehuacan.
The landscape from Tehuacan to Oaxaca. A photo from the window of the bus.
After a two hour wait in the park in Oaxaca for Nancy and Debi while Van and I were trying to find an acceptable hotel and here we are getting to it.
It was a long weekend and hotels were scarce and expensive and we got sort of a junker as shown by this picture but actually looks much better in the second picture. Nancy and I were moving to our apartment the next day so we really didn't care so much. Debi and Van stuck it our for two nights and then moved to better and bigger quarters.
Some cute Oaxacan gir
Debi and Van did their own trip to Monte Alban, an Indiginous ruins close to Oaxaca. The next two photos are of those ruins.
We all did a day trip to Tule, another small town close to Oaxaca and Van spotted these donkeys trotting down the road with fire wood for sale.
And we could not get out of Tule without buying some Mescal and this was the best and happiest place in town to buy it. This town also claims it has the biggest tree in the world which is pretty spectacular and pictures of it will come in another blog.
Debi got caught by this cute little gal and came home with new pretty scarf.
