Mexican Adventure

July 2007 -- The World Sheep Congress was in Querétaro, Mexico in 2007 -- the second to the last one held  (I think). I talked my friend and colleague Dee Dee A. into going with me. We flew into Mexico City and rented a car. That's where the adventure began. It was a 3 hour drive. At least the Mexicans drive on the same side of the road as we do.

Querétaro is a city in central Mexico. It’s known for its well-preserved Spanish colonial architecture , including its striking pink stone aqueduct. The aqueduct of Querétaro is an 18th-century aqueduct. It is a symbol of the city of Querétaro and one of the largest aqueducts in Mexico. Although no longer in use, the structure remains in place and is well maintained for traffic, pedestrians, and the thousands of tourists that pass by and under the aqueduct's 74 stone arches.
