The weather here went from 30c to 8c overnight with a really strong cold wind so the Hot Ar Balloon Festival had to be cancelled and it was toooo cold to go see the Irish Dancers :( Instead we stayed home and tested out the new cocktail glasses with some very good Pina Coladas.
Yesterday we at last visited Tequisquiapan, which was as pretty as everyone had told me. Then went to the Wine Festival at the La Redonda Vineyards. That was excellent: food stalls, wine tastings, vineyard tour, music, fireworks. We started off with the nearby Freixenet's Petillant Rose, followed that with a local Chardonnay and platter of local cheeses and dried meats and then - it got a bit hazy :)) All you needed was your glass and a wander around the big marquees - tastings galore. Bought a wonderful little invention - a sort of strap holder for your glass on a lanyard - have never seen those before. It'll come in handy at parties - I'm for ever setting down my glass and not being able to find it again!
There were so many people there, the live music was wonderful and everyone was just having a great time. They were setting up for fireworks in the vines when it got dark but, as we had a hour's journey back to Queretaro we left before then.
So, here we are, Sunday 3rd March, my last day, this time around, in Mexico. My flight leaves from Mexico City at 21.50 tonight to Amsterdam and from there to Dublin. It's been an amazing trip, my best yet. Thank you for sharing it with me. Here's to the next one x
