We went to Queretaro to get the computer fixed and we decided to make a day trip out of it. This is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico: it's full of narrow streets with a lot of buildings that somewhat resemble Gamla Stan and plenty of nice places to stop by and cool down. And since this is the city where the Mexican 
independence movement started, we had to stop by some important landmarks, like the house of the state governor who sent the voice out to start the insurrection. It was a nice trip.
While we were there, Annika decided she should use her time here a bit more constructively so she bought a blockflöjt and she has been picking it up quite nicely so far.
The next day, she and my mother cooked together a couple of very Mexican dishes (the all-time classic "tamales" and a less known dish called aztec pie). I have to say they both were incredibly tasty (I lucked out with a kitchen-capable Swede!).
We also went to a botanical garden and we actually got to see some impressive cacti. (See on the picture in the middle if you can spot what Annika was looking at!)
And to close the week off on a high note, we decided we'll go swimming a couple of times per week, starting today. We might not have swam much, but oh, did we have fun! (Well, actually, Annika did indeed swim a lot while I mostly tried the camera underwater.)
