I have finally regained my sense of normalcy here in the Central Mexican town of Queretaro, after those few days in Ciudad Juarez. I’m visiting some dear friends who are helping me with the book and I’m pretending to be a tourist for a few days. We’re going to the market, looking at historical sites and I’m not afraid to whip out my camera and take pictures on the street like I was in Juarez.
This is a very cool town with lots of students, colonial-era architecture and interesting restaurants.
Here’s some photos of my stay in Queretaro:
