Zacatecas was beautiful. We took a tour on a double decker bus without a top, we sat up top and listened to the guide in spanish. We were the only people on the bus. The sun was shining and while it was cold it was so clear and crisp we didn't mind. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring the camera! So, no pictures.

We went to a museum in an old Franciscan monastery, it contained the collections of a famous painter from the area. He had one of the largest mask collections in the world, really incredible. The building was also wonderful to wander around in, the gardens the stonework...dream material.

Around sunset we went up to a hill overlooking the city and had drinks and appetizers with a Canadian couple we met. It had rained and there was a double rainbow over the city. Magical.

Sorry about not taking notes while we were there, I know there was a lot I thought I would write about but alas, CRS intervenes and I've lost it.
