Shopping

Our last stop was shopping. It was a HUGE place that had hundreds of stalls. Nearly every aisle had the last stuff as the last aisle. We didn't buy anything.

Plaza de Armas

In colonial times, the square was the site of military parades, musical concerts and formal evening promenades, and it maintained its political and administrative role until the mid-20th century. It is surrounded by buildings spanning four centuries. The carriage and the men in costume are part of the recreations they do here in the afternoons.

The building to the right is part of the university. The pink hotel down the street is where Ernest Hemmingway used to stay.

Catedral de San Cristobal

Also known as the Cathedral of The Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception, the cathedral was completed in 1777 by the Franciscans. It wasn't open. I'm not sure if that was because of the day of the week or the time, it was getting late.
