Yesterday was a quiet day. The big news from yesterday - I went to the supermarket all by myself with no problems. I was tired after school so I went for a swim and took a nap. Rough life!
Today was busy and hot! We went to Tazco: Taxco is a town in the state of Guerrero, southwest of Mexico City, famed for its silver jewelry production and Spanish colonial architecture. It was beautiful. We went on a funicular above the area and the view was amazing. Walked and walked and walked. Saw more silver jewelry than I ever knew existed! Went to lunch and I had mole rosado which is rare, even for Mexicans. It had almonds, nuts, roses, and white chocolate in it and was not too spicy - perfect for me! I bought some silver jewelry.
The highlight of the day was Santa Prisca Church built in the mid 1700's in the Baroque style. It was breathtaking and reminded me of the churches in Europe. There is a statue of the Virgin Mary made of silver.
As we were leaving, there was a quinceañera with a mariachi band, stunning dresses, and chambelanes. Wow!! Breathtaking!
