Trip Log

Notes Actions
This morning we walked up to the start of Los Arcos and then discovered that we were right beside the Hercules neighborhood, which is up for consideration as. Barrio Magico. So we took a wander through Hercules as well. When we got there the sole came off of one of my Keens. We bought some crazy glue (Kola Loca) at the nearest OXXO, and after a quick repair, off we went again. At the end of our walk we had gorditas from the food truck down the road.
There are two neighborhoods in Querétaro that are up for consideration as Barrios Mágicos - El Tepe and Hercules. It is my intention to visit both of them while we’re here. I didn’t realize that the entry to the Hercules neighborhood was essentially right at the start of Los Arcos. We discovered that when we got there and decided to extend our walk into Hercules. It is REALLY interesting. I think we’ll go back to see more of it before we leave. There was too much to see everything this morning. We also dipped briefly across the railroad tracks into a little neighborhood called La Estación (I guess because it is above the Hercules train station). Really cute little neighborhood but probably also really noisy from the trains.
