What do you do if you have purchased an overnight flight home from Mexico City
to Ottawa leaving after midnight on March 31 and you have to be out of your
apartment by 10 AM on March 31? We didn’t
have to be in the airport until 10 PM on March 3 so we had hoped to spend an
extra leisurely morning in San Miguel, have lunch and then take a late afternoon
bus to the airport. We decided to spend a night in Quéretaro, leaving time to
visit this UNESCO city on the way to the airport. I had nothing but good reports
of the town, so I booked a room in a new B&B, Tres Sophias, just a short walk
from the center of town. An added bonus was that instead of taking the bus to
Terminal Norte in Mexico City and then taking a taxi ride to the airport, we
could get a bus from Quéretaro straight to the airport. It turned out to be good
decision.
It was a nice mild Saturday afternoon with families flocking to the many parks
to hear the music and enjoy the buskers. We had lots of time that afternoon and
evening and the following morning to see all the recommended spots. Our walking
tour took us past all the main colonial building in historic center, including
views of the 1,300 M long aqueduct, built in the 18th C to provide
good water for the city. We enjoyed a good meal at an outdoor patio, entertained
by a musician and a woman performing traditional colonial dances.
Our visit delivered more than we expected. It was just what we needed to end our
visit to Mexico.
