Another day in Tequis

Cindy doing her laundry at the public lavanderia (Mexican Bendix)

Spending time at the Plaza and enjoying the afternoon

Time is flying by. We have hardly hung our hats and it is already Tuesday, August 11. Daily walks have been invigorating and we are enjoying the moderate temperatures. We took a day trip to Bernal (home of the second largest monolith in the world) and forgot to bring the camera. We shall return with camera in hand. We had a terrific lunch at a restaurant in Bernal. Again, we will capture it on our camera next time around.

Today we went to the Tiendas (a group of makeshift tents displaying everything from bicycle parts to exotic plants and herbal spices). We picked out our veggies for a delicious salad that Cindy will prepare tomorrow. We also visited the Mercado near the plaza in Tequis and we had lunch at a nearby restaurant serving enchiladas and burritos. Fruits and vegetables are so fresh and reasonably priced at the Mercado, we hesitate going to the Mexican supermarkets.
Just kidding about the laundry. We did not use the public wash houses, but took the laundry to someone who washed, dried, and folded our clothes. We, of course, need to support the local economy.
