Sergio and I were invited to visit the state of Zacatecas with our friends Luis and Lupita. We had so much fun! And what an awesome city Zacatecas is. The reason for the trip was because Luis was throwing a dinner party for the doctors that he works with. The place where we had the dinner was The Quinta Real Hotel. One of THE Coolest hotels I have seen yet. The hotel is constructed from an old bull fighting arena. Its absolutely beautiful. I didn´t have my camera in the daylight, so unfortunately you won´t be able to see its beauty, so you will all just have to visit Zacatecas someday to see for yourselves! Infact, the whole city is really cool. Everything is very colonial and very preserved from when the spaniards were there. There is also a really cool Mine that was created by the mexican-indians for the spaniards to find crystals and silver. Zacatecas is known for its beautiful silver. We were able to take a tram deep inside of the Mine. A must see!
Heres the hotel we got to stay at...Also really cool and old-fashion!
Here is a night shot of our dinner setting at the Quinta Real
