Getting out of the hustle-bustle of Mexico City required a five hour drive out of town towards our main destination – Guanajuato. On the way, we stopped for lunch in a town called Queretaro. It was a quaint, rich town full of much activity. The first thing I noticed in the town square was a nurse volunteering her time by taking blood pressure readings of the folks sitting in the plaza. She evaluated BP status and explained the risk factors for cardiovascular disease to each individual. I was so impressed – it was a site entirely unexpected.
The picture above is of our Foreign Language faculty, Antonio, getting his BP checked (which came out normal, in case you were wondering...)
I´ll write more details about Guanajuato in another post.
