Finally some pics for yàll


Yeah...pictures for you!! Could not find an internet cafe when we needed one...but we did stumble time and time again to the Mexican Rasta shop, where we got a picture taken with JOSE MARLEY. Interestingly enough...Greg noticed a Federale taking an unusal interest in us going into (and leaving) senor Marleys shop...he kinda watched us for a good block or so in fact. anyway around 8:30 or so we found what was a computer university where two of the teachers took a good hour of their time to help us get photos on this site...so..Manuel and Estoban...if you read this...Muchos Gracias Mi Amigos!




The aquaduct...built between 1726 and 1738 as Queretero was suffering from a shortage of fresh pure water...this aquaduct is still considered to be an engineering marvel by todays standards...4200 feet long, and the channel runs over 74 standstone arches reaching a maximum height of 75 feet. Guess they need more of these as my shower sucked this morning...please see picture of toilet and shower facilities in previous post.




Here is the Santa Clara Catherdral...told you about it last post...celebrating it tri-centennial. Absolutley breathtaking, as all of the churches in this country are.

Greg found us a beaut of a hotel room...100 pesos each...beautiful pink walls, no toilet seat...extra for paper(not the reading kind) .


Went to the Mueseo de las Zacatena today....haunted house...murders, love affairs and bodies in the basement...quite interesting..husband leaves wife to go and get more business so he can keep here happy, wife has affairs, wife kills husband with help of servant, then kills servant and throws both bodies in basement.

Greg Writes: I can't believe how many different types of Chevy's there are here...none that we see in Canada. Tornado for one..kinda like a snaller type of el camino. Slowly working on our bottle of agua especial as we go along...really smooth. Time for a cerveza and a bite to eat.
