Today we went to Taxco for the day for shopping and site seeing. When the bus originally arrived Brigette sent it back because it was apparently it was too ugly for us. So about 30 minutes later the larger Volvo bus showed up and we started off.
The bus ride was about an hour and a half, it was too long. when we arrived in Taxco we first stopped for a bathroom break, which took way to long. After we went to Father Fredrico´s church, he showed us his home and the roof of the building, which had a nice view. He told us that at night he would go on the roof and play guitar. Then we went to the center of the city, the Zacalo. Which was right next to the Roman-Catholic cathedral, which was considered much to elabrate by us. Then we went to a pizza place for lunch, it was good, after we wandered around for a couple hours. We stopped in several shops, many of them were silver shops, a couple of them sold day of the dead items and masks. Then we met up at the Zacalo and took the hour and a half bus ride back.
We thought there was to much driving during the trip, considering we were in the bus as long as we stayed in taxco. But today was fun and a cool experience, even though I almost got ran over several times in the narrows.
