Well hello you watery delight. Oh, and you too. Well look at you all with your magnificent colors. I might just have to take some photographs, and study your existence. Don’t mind me, I just want to propagate you have a roof full of your friends soon.

The cool and crisp morning air awakens my senses to all that surrounds me. While dodging kids on their way to school with their breakfast churros in hand, I catch glimpses of the city’s past. Facades of buildings chipping. Ornate wooden doors. Mexican flags waving proudly in the breeze. Querétaro, a city of living history, is full of wonder at every turn. Spanish colonial churches, skinny stone sidewalks, and tiendas selling gorditas, charm residents and visitors alike. And so, I walk. Soaking in the city, I am in a trance-like state for forty minutes, on my way to prepare for what is in store for the next two years. Within what seems like only minutes, I find myself in front of the Peace Corps office, hardly ready to start another eight hour day of training. As the clock strikes 8:30, there I stand, left contemplating my fortune to experience this gem of a city.

PS: I am always really tempted to buy a churro from the street, but reconsider, wondering if churros are the best start to the day. Tempting though, huh?
