I started the month on the banks of Lake Chapala in Ajijic, searching for some trace of my great uncle who once lived there, but with no luck. Now I’m ending the month in Santiago de Querétaro, the capital of the Mexican state of Querétaro, right in the center of Mexico. Literally. The Pueblo Mágico, Tequisquiapan, just an hour from Santiago de Querétaro is fabled to be the precise center of Mexico. With a monument and a pendulum to mark its place. How this is decided without Mexico being an exact circle or square, I do not know. I just pass on the legends to you.
