Yesterday was a fantastic day. It began with a group of us taking a tour of Queretaro. It is a large city located about 1 hour away, and it is historically fascinating. Tons of churches and statues, and an all-around interesting adventure. But I must admit, the highlight of the day was the film festival. All the films are free and, as I mentioned before, there is a huge screen in the Jardin, as well as the screenings in the local Teatros. We saw about 6 or 7 short films, some funny, some dark. Our favorite was a German film that was very poignant. As we were leaving we saw our classmate from London, Ezimna, who introduced us to the Director of that film! Very cool! Then on to the Jardin where there was an East Indian dance exhibit going on. I have included the video of that in this blog. If you are patient (not just with the video, but also with my bouncy filming) you can see the Jardin filled with people, as well as the Parroquia, and the statue of Allende.
Today we are studying our Spanish and then attending more films. Tough life, huh?
