Monterrey

Botero statue

This will be more of a photo collage porque no tengo ganas de escribir. On Saturday coming home from Saltillo we made a touristy stop in Monterrey, a modern city with museums and a beautiful plaza. It's also said to have the highest concentration of wealth in all of Mexico... Saber is es verdad o no...

Las Cascadas
(natural falls on the ride home from Monterrey, you could get a horse buggy ride for a couple pesos and there were also some nice picnic areas as you walked up the fall sight)

I also went to some waterfalls called the cascadas de la cola del caballo (horse's tail) and actually you could ride a horse up to the look out spot if so desired. After a long car ride I was more enthused at the opportunity to use my own legs and get blood circulation flowing once again.

Names carved into a succulent. Like lovers scrawling on a tree trunk, desert style.

***Too bad I still haven't figured out how to rotate the pictures... Some computer wiz fill me in if you're in the know...
