Here is a view of us freshly inside the entrance dome ...
They next let out the peacocks to amuse us as well ...
The view below shows the domed entrance area in the background ...
Our purpose in coming here was double: Today's meeting required our presence at the Kingdom Hall in Tequisquiapan, and Dan very correctly thought we might enjoy a breakfast in this place Take a look at the dining room ...
Yes, we were the only customers. This may have been due to culture, the season, or something else, but we had the place to ourselves. In case you're interested, a typical breakfast here costs on average $8.00 (CDN). The coffee refills are prompt and endless.
The view out the dining room entrance.
Sharing a bench with bronze monkeys.
After exploring these elegant surroundings we went to the Hall where I gave the Sunday talk entitled, "Does God Count You Personally Important?" This was followed by the Watchtower Study, followed in turn by the Congregation Bible Study, which is how they do things here.
Later in the day the four of us went to the home of Tom and Janet Byrne where we were invited for a royal supper. Tom barbequed steaks which were utterly tender and delicious. The whole meal provided us with a memory that will certainly be a highlight of our trip.
Tomorrow we will go in the afternoon to Queretaro, about a half hour away, and look around that city for a few hours before boarding our overnight bus for Bucerias. Reportedly these top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art buses are very comfortable, the seats are spacious and fully recline, allowing a pleasant overnight experience. I'll let you know.

This place was like something you could imagine in paradise. Really breathtaking surroundings. A wedding was held on the grounds yesterday as we saw remnants of the celebration. The reception hall had high ceilings, beautiful mouldings, huge draped windows and masses of fresh flowers. What a romantic setting! Our evening with Tom, Janet and 91 year old, energetic, regular pioneer, Jessie who lives with them, was most enjoyable. Tom was a former butcher by trade so his choice of meat and preparation of it was excellent. After the meeting I went along with Heather on one of her Bible studies with a woman Bierniece, and we showed her the video on blood.
