Mexico
We will be in Mexico from October 26th – December 4th. We will be staying in San Miguel de Allende, Querétaro and México City.
Querétaro, Mexico
November 6th – 20th, 2026
We are in Querétaro with a group of slow travelers. We joined The Turtle Travel Club.
The Turtle Travel Club is a group people who dream of either living abroad or enjoy traveling slowly. Many have obligations in the US that prevent them from leaving permanently. These organized group trips give everyone the opportunity to meet other like minded people and feel like they are part of something bigger. This is our first organized group trip. This is very new for us as we have always been very independent travelers. It is nice to take a break from all the planning and to just sit back and let someone else take charge. These trips are called leaps. While we are in Querétaro for two weeks there are also planned day trips out of town.
The streets in the old town are MUCH easier to walk on than the streets in San Miguel de Allende. Notice they are flat stones.
I am fascinated by how they prune the trees in most of the parks in the old Centro. You can walk under them and they offer protection from the sun and rain. Watch out for mating pigeons though.
The quinceanera dresses for sale are stunning. It is fun to see photo shoots in the parks of the beautiful 15 year old young ladies. I’ll post a photo the next time I encounter one.
Group lunch at a beautiful restaurant. We tried three different types of mole sauces. Sorry no food photos.
This is our group of Turtles out for a walk around a local park.
