The Cathedral of Chihuahua

I recently stayed at the Hotel Palacio del Sol in Chihuahua and found a five star value within a short walk to the Cathedral and the colonial center of the city.

 Excerpts from the book

     I live in the Ozarks of Missouri where I take care of a 100 year old house in the countryside. I tend a garden while caring for the old farm and I take a rent from my house in the city.
