Catedral De San Ildefonso and De Arte Popular
Today we went to the Catedral De San Ildefonso which is the oldest church on the American continent, Inside is the statue the Cristo de las Ampollas, caved from a tree that burned all night after being hit by lightning but without showing any damage. We then went to the De Arte Popular it is a museum of popular art but all the art had links back to traditional art.
After dinner we went to the Santa Lucia Park for some traditional dancing and music. I love the dancers that had a tray of drinks on their head and they were dancing so fast that some of the drinks spun out.
