This weekend, eight of us, went to Cuernavaca, Taxco and the ruins of X . One of our profesors drove and was our tour guide. We had a wonderful time. We learn more about the culture of Mexico, shopped, ate, and did a lot of walking.
CUERNAVACA - is about one hour from Mexico DF and a very popular site for US retirees.

Also about San Antonio, on the 13 of June, his day you have to collect 13 coins, mainly from men, and bring them to San Antonio with your petition of a "good man for serious matters". He delivers what you ask for.
