Getting Cold in Queretaro!

After all my gloating about the beautiful weather here in Queretaro, it has turned. Not cold by Canadian standards, but definitely chilly for my thinned out blood! It is a cool 57F outside right now and the locals have pulled out their down jackets. I have put aside my shorts and am wearing jeans. No swimming pool today!

We have decided to head out for warmer climes. Today we have a list of chores including finding the Telcel Customer Service Center to renew our Internet subscription that expired on December 30. We will soon be needing it again. Tomorrow we will empty the sewer, top off the water and get the inside organised for travel and then on Wednesday morning we will head South on Mex 57 to the Arco Norte bypass of Mexico City (DF) and on to Puebla. The GPS says it is a four hour drive. We will spend a few nights there and then head cross country through Palanque to Chetumal where we will hopefully run into our American friends Whitney and Jan Baines. These two are tequila affectionados and have several samples that they have collected waiting for some critical tasting, a job I am always happy to help them with.

  5. 57F, sounds good!!!!! Just took the dog for a very short walk. It is -25C (-21F) with a -37C (-29F) windchill in Sudbury, but nice and sunny. Happy New Year. Don and Riitta
