We were so delighted to have friends from home visit us last week in Querétaro! We had a lot of fun showing them around and we think they had a good time too. Some highlights: a visit to the pyramid in nearby Pueblito, a trip with our Danzón group to a performance by members of the group in Tequisquiapan, and (on the last night) a big celebration at the local Templo de la Cruz by conchero dancers accompanied with a big fireworks show.
