Mexico Extra

As I walked around there were some lovely places like this statue of the eagle and serpent again, surrounded by Jacaranda



This is the opera house, through the bus window!


and a strange bench behind the cathedral and outside a lovely restaurant
You might have to play a bit with your computer to see clearly.
We also had a visit to a touristy sort of place where first of all they explained about the uses of the cactus plant which range from producing drinks of various alcoholic intensities, arrow heads, sewing needles and thread and effectively paper which is the outside skin of each leaf.

They also tried to sell us some fancy hand carved masks, copies of the ones found in Teotichuan, but they were very expensive as using proper semi-precious stones to decorate.
