This weekend, our church had a youth conference. There were about 200 young people in attendance. I spoke at a conference, and three of my students helped out at the conference, too. Here’s my quick video to remember the event.

Last Saturday, we went to the Mexico City zoo with our friends the Cottrills. They had seen our other video of the zoo and contacted us to see if we wanted to go with them. Their kids are a little older than Nathan, so we said sure. We had a great time. Hopefully, it will be the first of many times we get together with them.

Santiago de Querétaro is a city about two hours from where we live in Northwest Mexico City. It is a colonial city with lots of historical value. It was in this city that the Mexican Constitution was signed (you will see the theater and the museum in the video), and Maximilian was tried and executed in Santiago de Querétaro. The movement for Independence was conceived in Querétaro, and the peace treaty that ended the Mexican-American war was ratified here.
There are numerous churches, ex-convents, and other attractions. Some consider it the best city in Mexico, and it was a great place to relax for a weekend.
Where is your favorite place to go for a weekend getaway?
