Me llamo Maria
All the dolls are called Maria It was another sunny day in Mexico and the temperature was mild, thus made sightseeing very pleasant.
Coyoacan- 'Places of Coyotes' in the Nahuatl language, is in the southern end of Mexico City. It is quite close to Veronica's home. She used to hang out here when she was living in Mexico. It is also here, in Church of San Juan Bautista, where her parent got married.
Coyoacan has a bit of everything to offer its visitors- the narrow colonial-era streets, cantina, plazas, parks, cafes, book stores, market and etc. All these has contributed to its lively yet relaxed atmosphere. After the Spanish conquest Hernán Cortés made his residence here, which is now a opened for visitors. It was also home to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and Leon Trotsky. The houses they lived in are now museums.
Unfortunately, the museum was closed on the day we visited.
I liked it here, it is less crowded than Zocalo, but still full of activities, just less intense. I bought one Maria from the lady here in the square. We both also bought a small handwoven pouch, which comes in useful when we do not want to bring handbag on
a salsaing nightout.
