| Early in this trip I said we hadn't seen any mosquitoes, and we didn't for the first week or week and a half. After that we started getting a few, which was a mild annoyance but nothing too bad... until last night. The whole back of my left arm is completely covered in bites, and I have a few in other places as well. When I saw my arm, with multiple bites all in rows, my mind went to bedbugs and I made Brent get out of bed to check out my arm, and our bed with me. He says they're mosquito bites, and we had annoying mosquito sounds keep us awake for a good part of the night to prove it. Ugh. Maybe they've woken up with the warmer weather? Our temperature range when we got here was about 6-20, and now it's more like 15-30. | |

We were going to go back to San Juan del Rio today to see Laura and her family. We were going to visit Tequisquiapan and then have a BBQ at her parents' house. This morning she messaged me to say that her daughter, Ines, was sick with a fever and cough, so we decided not to come. We'll leave Tequisquiapan, and family visits, "on the table" for a future visit.
So, after some ruminating about what to do today, we decided to visit the large Querétaro cemetery (Panteón Municipal de Querétaro), and the art museum (Museo de Arte de Querétaro). As a bonus, we stumbled across the indigenous art museum (Museo Indígena Querétaro) and visited it too. |

One thing I enjoy about spending time with Brent is that we are drawn to similar things but we see them differently. I see shapes and colors and textures, and he sees construction and wear and materials. -

This man had a true friend. Note the full can of beer on his shelf. -
Panteón Municipal de Querétaro
If I were going to be buried (I'm not) I would like a grave like this woman's. She's got an umbrella for shade, a lovely garden, a bench for friends to sit when they come visit, and a frame of beautiful tiles. -

This piece was made with, we think, embroidery thread glued into place. I think I might try making some art like this when I retire. I love it. -
