Our trip to Taxco....The city known for it's amazing silver

Jodi and I having a nice, cool drink after walking around so much. It was a nice taste of something American.


Las tres amigas in front of the church.
A picture of the beautiful church we visited with the blue sky as a backdrop.

We went on an excursion to Taxco, which is a town close to Cuernavaca that is known for it's barrato (cheap) and beautiful silver. The town was absolutely beautiful. The houses are scattered along the mountian side and the views are breathtaking. We walked around the town and looked in several silver shops. The streets in Taxco are just like the streets in San Francisco....either straight up or straight down. After walking for a while we went to a balcony resturant to have a cerveza. The view from the balcony was increbile. We also visited a church while we were there. The church was HUGE and ornately decorated in golden angels. It was a beautiful day for our excursion to Taxco.








The view of the town. So PRETTY! In the far, upper right-hand corner there is a big Jesus statue with His arms wide open. No matter where you are....Jesus is always with you....even in a differnt country.
