More bridges

We like the bridges almost as much as the architecture.

The Church

This was the Church that saw the massacre of nuns back in the 1870s.

Cab #2

Our second ride. This guy loaded a new crew almost before we got out! Busy, busy.

Used book store

There are lots of vendors selling books, pictures and other trinkets. One has to hope for a lack of rain.
