Thursday evening and Friday in Veracruz

We are getting our walking in.  Our hotel is a long, long walk from the Zocolo (main square) or the waterfront.  



But it has a pool to cool off in.


After we arrived and got settled, we walked to the zocolo and ate dinner near the plaza where we could see all of the people going by, hear the music drifting to us from many directions, and smelling the wonderful food.  

The next morning we found a little neighborhood place for breakfast and then walked to the waterfront to walk the piers and along the beach.  It is Holy Week and so Veracruz is crowded with people from all over.  As we meandered toward the water, a little procession passed by.


A working port for sure



Crowded beaches with bands playing.  It is like many beach cities during Easter break.


We ate cups of fruit with chili dribbled on them


We went to the aquarium which was so crowded I couldn't believe it.




We rode a double decker bus around the city.


And we walked the Malecon way after dark.  Lots of friendly people, lots of families.  




A full day!  We must have walked 10 or 12 miles.
