My last night in Zacatecas

I decide not to move the truck tonite but to spend the nite here in the middle of downtown centro Zacatecas.

Hopefully I will get a better night’s sleep tonite. The city is hoping tho! A young man is playing the accordion right outside my door, his little 2 or 3 year old daughter holding the cup. She’s been holding the cup all day and I wish I could invite her inside to sleep a little.

People are strolling the streets, and a couple of clowns are putting on a show that is very well attended in the square a few car lengths from where I’m parked. I can hear the crowd laughing and cheering.

Mario has come by to tell me the tamale vendor is passing – I told Mario I wanted some tamales! I get 3 large wonderful tamales for $30 pesos, which is less than $1 each! I’m trying to save one for tomorrow.

Tomorrow I will leave for some indigenous ruins I have seen pictures of in the museum, and I will try to find some hot springs to camp at for a couple of days. I’m ready for some seclusion and less gentes, although if the school was open, I would stay here longer and take Spanish lessons – classes are only $250 for 3 months! That’s pesos!
