On Day 4, I headed out to an overlook of the city, where you can see the famous aqueduct. In the spot I was expecting to sketch, there was a crew filming a movie I assume. I moved over to the Pantheon of Illustrious Queretanos, and sat there to sketch the aqueduct. So, if you see a movie shot here, look for a sketcher in the background :)
From there, I went to sketch what I think is a convent, very close by. Some policewomen stopped and rattled off in Spanish to me and then handed me a brochure. It was a brochure on being aware of your surroundings to prevent crime. The El Centro area of Queretaro feels very safe though. I never felt uncomfortable, even at night. There is a large police presence in the area.
In the afternoon, my friend asked if I wanted to check out a brewery that is popular in the neighborhood of Hercules. We got there and found the brewery was closed for a private staff party. So, we wandered around the neighborhood for a while, checking out the murals and stopping for an ice cream - I got a pine nut flavored one.
