Visit to Peña de Bernal

Yesterday we went out for Sunday breakfast.   Chilaquiles are very popular here and there are places that specialize in them.   We went to a place around the corner from the hotel where the restaurant is located in a warehouse.  The food was great and also very inexpensive.  The orders come in plain chilaquiles or with many extras and in three sizes; small, medium and mega.  We ordered a mega with papas and chorizo and split that with a cup of pretty good coffee. 

 We had been out late on Saturday night so we went back to  the rv and took a short nap before driving to Peña de Bernal. 

We were there with Croft, Norma and Les in 2009.  We climbed the big rock walked around the pueblo magico and had lunch back then.  This time it was for a stroll, shopping, and a coffee and gordita.

Quite a crowd showed up and there is a lot to do there in terms of sightseeing and shopping.  Restaurants are everywhere and there is a new hotel just about ready to open up and it is really beautiful.  Based on the construction technique, it will last for a couple hundred of years.

We walked all over the place, sat and had a coffee with a really good pastry.  Kind of like a giant cinnamon roll, but instead of cinnamon it has candied fruit inside and smothered in a delicious glaze.  Yummy!

We left for home around 6 p.m., the sun was going down and I don't like to drive at night.  I highly recommend this place as a day trip.  The road from Hwy 57 to Bernal is excellent and would be a perfect place to open an rv park.  Somewhere in between Queretaro and Bernal would be 20 minutes on either side.   Beautiful countryside and pristine vistas.
