Hello from beautiful Zacatecas. I'm using a hotel computer so don't have any pictures to upload but wanted to check in and say that we are fine and enjoying our trip. We've driven around this colonial city many times but never stopped. This time we are spending the weekend being tourists and enjoying the sights. This was one of the first cities established by the spanish as it is the location of the most prolific silver mine of that era. Lots of beautiful old ornate buildings and mansions, incredible museums and churches. The city is built in a narrow valley with cobbled alleys and streets going up and down the hills. It's at 8000' elevation so it is chilly and difficult to walk up the hills. We're taking taxis and not worrying about it. More later.

Thanks Brenda. We're warm now, we are at our condo in Akumal and I'm trying to catch up on the blog. I knew I should have taken notes while we were traveling, it's hard to remember everything I wanted to post.
