La Plateria

Went to Taxco yesterday with Nicole. We literally spent the whole time shopping. There is just one jewelry store after another, and even if you are not in an official-looking jewelry store (some with guards out front and the jewelry under glass), then there are stands in the street, in little markets, everywhere. I finally bought a ring that I like a lot. There is silver for sale in Cuernavaca, too, so I will probably buy some more. This really was a cute little town. Here are some pics:

This is a hilly city, with many cobblestone streets.

And markets selling everything.

Approaching the main square and the cathedral.

 

All the taxis are white bugs. It is very cute. They speed up and down all these hills and through the tiniest of streets. Many times we thought we were on a pedestrian only street until a little white bug came speeding along.
