Quick morning trip

Before heading out for our weekend in Cuernavaca, we decided to take a quick trip over to the National Palace for the Rivera murals and the Cathedral, neither of which Joe had seen this time. The murals were as amazing as ever, and the cathedral as over-opulent as ever. But I did see two interesting little things on our walk back to check out from the hotel.

First was a "voluntary arms surrender", where the military will render your firearm inoperable. Though no one thinks it would ever work in US, I read that the people most responsible are the women, who turn in the guns belonging to the men in the family. Seems worth a try if we could ever get the political will.

Second was a shoe shine stand only for police. Bye to Mexico City, it has been a wonderful visit. Off to Cuernavaca.Meer informatie
