| I worked this morning and then we met up with Elissa to go for lunch and then to our bike tour. At the restaurant, we looked at having some guacamole as an appetizer, and there was an item that looked like it was guacamole with cheese. I asked the server if it was queso (cheese) and she said yes. Well, there was a breakdown in communication, because it wasn't queso... it was crickets. Elissa was a trooper and jumped right into the adventure, followed shortly by Brent. I followed as a very reluctant third. They were salty and a little fishy and a lot chewy. I wouldn't seek them out again, but for all the times I've wondered if I'd be able to eat bugs... well... now we know. | |
| We had a really fantastic tour this afternoon with Uriel from Bike Tour Queretaro. He was very confident and skilled at leading us through traffic. His English was perfect, he was knowledgeable, interesting, and engaging. He took us to the hot spots in centro, and to my surprise, Brent and I had already hit most of the on our walkabouts. But it was still great to hear all of the stories, the history, the gossip and the conspiracy theories. Uriel also does tours to go see the migrating monarch butterflies. We're hoping to join one of his tours for that! | |
| After our bike tour we walked back to our AirBnB along the Rio Queretaro. Elissa spotted a huge train of leaf-cutter ants making off with their daily loot. It was A-MA-ZING! |
