So it’s been a few days since I have posted anything new on my blog, mainly because nothing new has really happened until the weekend. So here comes the recap.
On Friday night we went out with a group of friends to this place call Bunka for a welcome party for student at the Tec, it was really fun but not much different than the clubs in the state.
Most of the fun stuff happened on Sunday. Me and Jess got up early, well 10 a.m., and went to the flea market; we meet up with Emily and Allie at their house and walk from there. The place was packed with people and cars and chickens and food! The market was more like a whole neighborhood with little stand on the sidewalks. You could literary find anything you needed or wanted in this place from cardinals, pottery, to a single screw. There were so many different types of foods, fruits and flowers that you really didn’t know which things to look at first. There was so much to see but unfortunately Emily was feeling sick so we were practically running behind her, so we are going back soon to really appreciate the craziness of this place. i wanted to buy them all.

After the market we were starving, I think it was all the fresh chicken and fruits that seemed to fill the streets. We walk downtown to our new favorite restaurant called, Las Comidas de Panchita, this is the same restaurant that we visited earlier in the week that had the awesome menu of the day, but this time they were serving breakfast. I adventure to have the enchiladas de la casa, I was really expecting them to be very hot but they were delicious. We also enjoyed café and fresh squeezed orange juice.
After brunch, Emily and Allie decided to head back home and rest but Jess and I were not ready to leave, so we started to walk around the plaza and as it started to sprinkle (I was going to say drizzle, but Jess says that is only when it involves ice), so we diced to go to the Museum and the museum is free on Sundays, and for 330 pesos ($3.30 USD) you can take all the pictures you want even inside the museum. Our timing was perfect since as soon as we walked in it started raining very hard. The museum used to be an old monastery and it was filled with Queretaro’s history. We must of spent at least two hours walking around and enjoying the place.

After the museum, and once it had stop raining we decided to go check out this little place that sells sweets made by hand, we are so going back there to buy stuff to take back. I also found a sport store where I found a great pair of tennis shoes. It was starting to get late so we called for a safe taxi to pick us up. We got to the plaza were they were having a mini concert so we were entertained, until we started to fell drops of rain, we got underneath this tree but after a several minutes and no taxi on site we decided to run across the street to get away from the pour down.
Finally our cab arrives and took us back home, we had to run to the Residencias but we made it safe.
This is the video of us waiting in the rain for our taxi.
