Zacatecas

In July I visited the beautiful colonial city of Zacatecas, capital of the state of Zacatecas in mid-northern México. I went with my cousin Andrea Julieta and her boyfriend Roy to visit their old friend (and my new friend) Martín. We were only there overnight and I unfortunately got a bad case of gastritis when we were out having drinks. But overall, I had a wonderful time.

En Julio visité la hermosa ciudad colonial de Zacatecas, capital del estado del mismo nombre. Fui con mi prima Andrea y su novio Roy a visitar a un amigo de ambos (y ahora mío), Martín. Sólo estuvimos dos días y lamentablemente me dio una gastritis horrenda que por poco nos arruina la salida nocturna. Pero a pesar de eso, la pasé muy bien.

Mina El Edén

Fun fact: Mina El Edén is a unique tourist attraction that is part mineral mine with guided tours by day and part underground dance club by night. The night club's season unfortunately started a couple of weeks after our visit, but I hear it's quite an exciting thing to do. I hope to go back soon specifically to check that out. 

Dato curioso: La Mina El Edén no es una mina normal, ya que dentro de ella yace un club nocturno único en el mundo. Lamentablemente no pudimos ir, pues la temporada del antro-bar comenzaba poco después de nuestra visita, pero espero volver pronto para conocerlo.
