HI Hotel Impala
- Queretaro, Mexico
Billy and
Akaisha Kaderli
Mexico has so many
places to visit, and Queretaro is a Colonial City we
had not seen before. Over the years, many people
recommended for us to go see this fine place, and
finally, we put it all together. |

Bistro Chez Julien
Billy and Akaisha Kaderli
Billy and I were in the
Spanish Colonial city of Queretaro, Mexico. We met
up with friends, and since we are known for wanting
to frequent fine eateries, our friends suggested
this little French Bistro. |

Billy and Akaisha Kaderli
We stumbled upon Hanks just out
of good luck. We arrived in Santiago de Queretaro
after a long 5.5 hour bus ride on ETNs First Class
Double Decker Bus. After taking a taxi from the bus
station to our hotel for 130Pesos (about $6.50USD),
and checking in, it was about 4pm, and time to eat. |

Hercules Cerveceria - Santiago de
Queretaro, Mexico Billy and Akaisha Kaderli
Today, Mexico is among the world's top
beer producers but it wasn't always so. It took a
war of independence from Spain (and their heavy
regulation and high taxes placed on local production
of beers and wines) along with a late 19th century
influx of German immigrants to push Mexico into
world class beer making. |

La Bocha Queretaro, Mexico
So there we were, strolling through a
neighborhood park where a man was walking his duck. We came upon a
Father and his young daughter and struck up a conversation with them.
Billy likes to speak with locals, probing why they like where they live,
and then asking them if they know any good restaurants that we should
try. Without hesitation, this Father said "La Bocha." |
