Good news and bad news

Hi again.
The good news is that there are tour companies in Queretaro but the bad news is that they all need a minumum of 4 people to enable a tour to go ahead and none of them seem to be at all pro-active in making this happen! I left my telephone number with 2 of them and am still waiting! Usually in tourist cities there are boards everywhere advertising tours of the surrounding countryside. Here there aren't so I'm wondering do a large proportion of the tourists here bring their own cars with them? Very few Europeans - or Americans for that matter. So: no visit to Freixenet and the cheese artisans this trip. Next time I'm bringing three friends with me. Any volunteers?
However, plenty to do and see in the city and all within easy walking distance. Tomorrow I'm going to count the number of churches - must be dozens. So have enjoyed it immensely. I love the terrace here outside my room - I'm quite happy sitting there under a parasol in the late afternoon watching the world go by. At the minute sitting at my desk I've got a front row seat to a 'son et lumiere' show. Spectacular thunder and forked lighting.
Leave here on Friday and travel to Puebla for the weekend. Next post from there I hope.
