Casa de la Marquesa

Yesterday we were invited in to a restaurant at a time that we didn’t want to eat. But we looked inside and it was BEAUTIFUL! Brent asked what time they open and they said 7am, so we went there for breakfast today.

From their website: Legend has it that the Marquis fell in love with a Poor Clare nun, who, out of loyalty to her vocation, did not accept any relationship with him, asking him to build the now majestic aqueduct to convey water to the city, and to also build the house. most beautiful in Querétaro, which has been carefully restored, revealing the original decorative paintings on its walls.

On our way back we finally got a look at the inside of Templo de la Merced.
This afternoon we met up with Rob and Anita (we met Rob on one of our random church tours a while back) and they took us on a grand walking tour of the west part of centro, and across Rio Querétaro into El Tepetate, one of Querétaro’s Barrios Mágicos.

Some highlights included:
- The inside of Templo Santa Clara, which we had missed before
- Lunch at Tlayoli
- Fuente de Los Platitos
- Antigua estación del Ferrocaril, the museum in the beautiful old train station
- The old carols at Parroquia de Santiago

It was a really great first full day up after having our cold.
