Queretaro

After a few too many days in Merida I flew back to Mexico city. Arriving in town I had to take the Metrobus which could only be paid buying an expensive card. I asked the cop/guard outside the Metrobus gates if I could get on without buying the card and for a small fee he let me through, after making sure nobody was watching. Did I bribe someone? Is it that easy here?

Anyway, I am now in Queretaro, 200km north of Mexico city. Carlos (a friend from BCN) has very nicely offered to receive me for the WE. The town is part of the UNESCO world heritage program and is super nice: at every street corner you discover a nice church, a nice paved street, a beautiful garden, square, monument, museum, alley way, bar... A stunning place to finish my trip in Mexico.


At night we went to a "traditional" Mexican night club, i.e. a night club playing Cumbia and musica `Norteña´. Most men and some girls where wearing a sombrero and dancing in a style not very different to country music style. It was a weird mix. Watching them dancing to `YMCA´in a country/cumbia/disco manner was the highlight of the day. The end of the night got blurred probably because of to many beers/tequila. It was time I had a Mexican night out, after 30 days here.
