Zacatecas, Mexico

We took a little road trip with Vicki and Larry to a city called Zacatecas, about 4 1/2 hours southwest of Monterrey. It was a great trip. This was our hotel, Meson de Jobito.


It was nice just to walk around the city. The streets are all stone, and all of the signs over shops are painted in black, so there aren't any neon signs advertising anything. We enjoyed peeking into all of the quaint little shops, searching for treasures, and listening to street performers as we strolled.







Walking around downtown at night was another highlight of the trip. Yummy hot chocolate kept us from freezing our noses off!

During our sightseeing, Rachel's favorite activity was scaring the pigeons away from everywhere we were, and Sarah had to do a perfect cartwheel in every place! Cute girls.

This is the Museo Rafael Coronel. It used to be a convent. The architecture was great and had little pathways winding through arches and gardens. Just beautiful.






This little restaurant was great! El Rincon de los Sabores. I LOVED the sopes and the tacos al pastor...so good!This was a nice trip...we might be headed back when my folks come to visit! There's still more for us to do there!
