Querétaro!!
I went to Querétaro..well I will explain a little about this beautiful State.
Santiago de Querétaro, is the capital and largest city of the Mexican state of Querétaro.
I had to be there few days, I just visited there because all the universities (UT) had a national contest. So I decided to support my best friend because was going to participate on Tae kwon do. She won the 2nd place at the national, she is great!
I was the only one of the team that went there..that was not going to participate, sad eh?:(
but I enjoyed anyways!! I was the cheerleader of the team..or that was the teachers and classmates said me... to make me feel better.
At least, I met alot of people from other states, I yelled so much to my team, Helped teachers and not all the trip was "contest", the last few days all the team, went to visit the "Acueducto" really nice place, it is amazing, I visited an important temple its called " Templo de la Santa Cruz" it has an incredible history on that place. The legend says a monk put his walking stick on the garden, and a miracle happened there... all the thorns of a plant had shape like cross, is the unique place in the world that has those thornks with that shape. I almost forgot I visited museums!!
Well, I won't finish to tell here all my adventures in Querétaro... but at least few of them.
History:
I can start saying that Querétaro was founded when Spanish Conquistadors arrived. In 1726 an aqueduct was constructed which furnished the city's water until 1970, just imagine...!!!
In 1847 Querétaro was made capital of the Republic during the United States of America's invasion in the Mexican-American War.
Important things happened in 1867, during the French intervention in Mexico, the city was the last capital of Emperor Maximilian I of the Mexican Empire, and on June 19 Maximilian was executed by a firing squad on the Cerro de las campanas, together with his Generals Miguel Miramón and omás Mejía. Today thats a beautiful place to visit, I didnt had the opportunity to visit the Cerro, but I will go there soon, or atleast I hope so!
