what a day ... today we went to the cathedral area and had breakfast at the Casa de los Azulejos ... I love that place !! it makes you feel like royalty, just seeing the mural by orozco, the huge height of the inside garden, the ladies dressed in typical mexican clothes, the hustle and bustle of delicious food being served ... it is just a happening ....
upon lleaving the house of tiles, we noticed that there was a church across the pedestrian walkway. it was so quiet inside. amazing how there can be throngs of people outside and total silence inside. gold altars. many wooden sculptures. a couple folk praying.
from there we went to chinatown - it is only a one block street, and a short one at that, but it is authentic: everything says MADE IN CHINA !!! I bought some coins that bring you abundance to give away...can't hurt to have abundance. I want to share the abundance we have.
from there we came back to the hotel to pack since we leave tomorrow morning. it has been so fun to be here ... and we plan to come back. however, let me say that yesterday and today we saw many many horrible homeless people. don't know where they were the other days, but they were quite present today.
on another tangent, we really like this hotel we are at. it is a 3 star hotel with a deceent restaurant, above average friendly staff, spotlessly clean rooms - they wash the towels every day and change the sheets every day. when i asked why such extreme measures were in place, i was told that it is the law now...ever since the swine flu scare a couple years ago. the result is that the sheets and towels are well worn, which is understandable. well, all i can say is that we have stayed at over 30 hotels this last month and none of them were as serious about this. also, the prices are cheaper than they list online. why ? i have no idea, but this was a good deal.
