Sunday in Taxco

Another day trip to the town noted for its silver jewelry.  There is only one silver mine operating there now, but silver is what most  shops sell.  The town is built on a hillside and has very narrow streets.

This is a two way street

We climbed up many blocks to get to the square.

We had a morning snack here so we could look at the view of the church and town.

The taxis here are white VW bugs.

Around the church looking for a way to sneak up into the bell tower.  We failed!

The stone streets have designs made of different color rock.

Every street is steep and narrow and there are no sidewalks, so we had to plaster ourselves against the building to stay alive.

It was a good trip that got over too quickly.  

Today I stayed home while Suzanne went back to work.  It felt good not to ride in any kind of bus! I enjoyed reading, walking to a store, eating at a street side stand, swimming ang sitting in the sun in the yard.  Tonight we did go to some friend's of Suzanne's for dinner which was very nice.

Tomorrow a new adventure......
