I spent last week in Monterrey, working hard , I stayed at the Holiday Inn in the Fundidora Park, that will be the biggest park in the city and it is at the same time a monument of the Industrial life of the city, also it is going to be home for the nex "Forum de las Culturas" which is the International Forum of cultures.

The park is great the weather was good, considering is Monterrey, the average temperature was 32°C (in Queretaro that is living hell, but in Monterrey that is fresh)

Here some photos of the park...

Before being a park it was one of the biggest steel factories in the country, it has giagantic towers where the steel was melted, and the buildings that were part of the offices are now museums, galleries and other cultural centres.

In the hotel where I stayed they have a japanese garden, with the big colourful fish, I don't know which is the name of the fish, but look at them.


For the first time in my life I went to Monterrey by plane, that is before it was too expensive to go there by plane, so we used to use car or bus to get there, but in car the trip is like 5 to 6 hours and in bus is 9 hours, while by plane is just 1 hour.

In Monterrey I visited my cousins, she is studying there, but she is from Costa Rica, well she was born in Mexico, but lived in Costa Rica since she was 6 months old.
