México, D.F. Dia dos.

Our second full day in Mexico began as the previous one. Early rise, breakfast and waiting in the lobby to be picked up.

On the dot, our ride appeared and we were deposited back in the same meeting place on Paseo de la Reforma.

This time we only had to wait a couple of minutes before Rodolfo showed up. He apologized saying that he was late because he had spent 2 hours riding on the subway from his home. I completely empathized with him having spent my fair share of time in bad morning rush hour traffic.

e left Taxco early enough to arrive in the Palacio de Bellas Artes pretty darn close to 7:30 on the dot as Rudolfo had told us we would be.

As we clamored out of the van we bid goodbye to our fellow travelers. Rodolfo escorted us to the front entrance and there we would say good night to him as we would be seeing him again tomorrow.

Ciudad en la colina. Taxco.

Taxco lies just a short distance away from Cuernavaca and it was not long until Rudolfo pointed out all the buildings clinging on the hillside. We were on the outskirts of Taxco. Soon, we were widing our way to the center of town, driving up narrow cobblestone streets.

My first impression of Taxco was that it was a charming little hillside town that would be packed with tourists and I was right!

The narrow streets were packed with cars, pedestrians everywhere and as I had expected, every other store was selling something to do with silver!

Today started out bright an early. The alarm was set to go off at 7:30a but I was wide awake at 6:30p. I lingered in bed for as long as I could but shortly after 7a, I was already in the beathroom getting ready for the day.
