More of Tepic and on to Tequila

We meant to get this post out to you the day after our last post but too many children have arrived and have kept us sort of busy doing other things. It just shows the rest of our 4 day journey to Tepic with a stop at Tequila on the way home.

And one other bit of information. The past few days it has been a bit cool with highs of only 20 degrees C so we have to find a top shirt to go out. What a bummer. Today is very nice but the first part of next week it will get cool again so we are heading to Colima, a small city 3 hours away in the direction of the coast where the highs will be 26 and 27 degrees C and we can leave our top shirts here.

From the last post, this is a photo of a bingo game, that was part of the celebration that was going on in the central park. Young and old alike were all having such fun.

Nancy and I did a day trip to San Blas. We were not so very impressed as it is a bit of dump but it did have one very nice and very expensive hotel. This photo is part of the central courtyard of the hotel.

And this one shows its pool and some of the gardens.

While we went to San Blas, Dennis went hat shopping in Tepic and this is what he ended up with. It is a bit small for him so he doesent wear it so much until he figures out how to stretch it.

For almost every meal that we ate in Tepic we ate at the same restaurant. It was good and it was cheap and very local. And at times we had live entertainment. This is a group that seranaded us one early morning at breakfast time.

We have moved on to Tequila and our hotel was on the central park and Nancys and my room had a balcony that overlooked the central park. It was so very beautiful but not so busy as some central parks.

Mexico has a number of towns and cities that have been designated "magical towns" and Tequila is one of those towns. And it is very neat and tidy and a bit magical.

Just an interesting lady sitting in the park in Tequila.

Tequila is most know for just that, "Tequila". The surrounding country side is covered with the Agave plant of which Tequila and Mescal are made. This picture is of a very famous distillary where they make "Jose Cuervo" Tequila.

This was our breakfast place in Tequila. It is in the eating area of the central market. Most eating areas in central markets are a bit questionable but this one was very neat and clean, just like the rest of Tequila.

We think that somewhere in these blogs we told you that Glenn was also going to come to Tlaquepaque and spend a few days with us. About 3 sleeps ago he came and so now we have two of our sons to look after us. He is most fluent in spanish so now we get no surprises.

Will get some photos of him in our next blog.
