Taxco





We went to the Pueblo of Taxco on Saturday. It is the biggest Silver producer in Mexico and possibly the world. But I'm not sure. Cortes discovered the mines and they are still producting silver today. Also of significance to those who enjoy drinking now and again, this is
the town were the Margarita was invented. Bar Berta, is the place! We didn't have time to give it a taste, but who knows! The church here is beautiful and is still in it's original form. The organ here was brought up piece by piece by donkeys. It was raining most of the day and I was disappointed to find out that most of the silver pieces were still very expensive. I wanted to buy stuff for everyone, especially some native art for my sister Denise but, alas, I just couldn't afford to do it. I thought of just about everyone though. I hope that counts!

Terry came in last night and aside from a little mix up at the airport all went well. He is safe and sound. We shall see by lunch if he eats something besides cereal though! :D It's great to have him here and I can't wait to show him everything!

Great to know Terry is there with you. Have a great time - both of you. And hey, cereal is good for you.

Thanks for thinking of us when you looked at the silver. That's better than buying us some. I'd rather be thought about.
