| Peter and Osmara hard at work |
Guadalajara, Mexico
After a great night
in the wonderfully charming city of Queretaro its great to be back in
a familiar place. It feels like I've been on the road for so long
now that when I pulled into a familiar city, found my old hostel, and
saw numerous old faces from the last time I was here a week ago it
couldn't have been nicer. The day I left Guadalajara I realized I
didn't get the contact info of my Irish friend Peter and kicking
myself I accepted that I'd probably never get to hear how the end of
his lady wooing would go. But as luck would have it pulling in at
5:00pm after a long 6 hour ride, my longest in a while, their he was
in his usual spot taking his daily Spanish lesson. Where I've had a
few problems on my trip so far for the most part things have had a great
way of just working out.
I didn't get to
spend much time in Queretaro as I'm now making my way over to the
Pacific coast to eat up a few days of sun on the beach, but what I
did see was probably one of the nicest and wealthiest cities I've
been to while in Mexico. Every other block had wonderful squares
with tall trees boasting incredibly groomed leaves and theirs a great
assortment of modern dinning and drinking establishments scattered
through out the city. The city was celebrating its 101st
something or other so there was events every single day of the month
and I got to see some great live music for free.
If I would have had
the time I could have easily spent more time in the gorgeous city of
Queretaro. What was really nice though was the hostel I was staying
at had a great vibe also being one of the nicest that I had stayed
at. The truth is though my time is running short and even though I
have a little less then three weeks to get home, I'm starting to feel
the time crunch. On this whole trip I've been to the beach only once
and that was just a break on a long ride. Tomorrow though I make my
way for a small surfer town hopefully to find what I've been looking
for since setting out on my journey. A hammock, a cold cerveza,
and some waves. |
