14. ... and People Celebrate that it is Friday???We spent today exploring La Paz. If you don’t like La Paz, you are in serious need of some therapy. According to the travel books, this is where Mexicans from the mainland come to vacation. We started today with a walk down the Malecon, a 5 km seawall promenade. This is very well maintained with various art objects (castings, paintings, etc), benches, and parks. In short, this is one of the coolest places on earth.
After walking the promenade, Ray and I shopped some stores for Mexican music, went to the English language book store to buy some maps, spent several hours in the Museo Regional de Antropologia e Historia (worth seeing), stopped by the Catedral de Nuestra Senora de la Paz and the adjoining plaza, and finally visited Quinta Lupita to look at some tile. Ray took photographs of the tiles to e-mail to Beth with the intention of purchasing some tiles tomorrow.
All this completed put us into the late afternoon. We returned to Rancho Viejo for a second helping of tacos carne arracharra.
After dinner, we retruned to the Malecon. True to the travel books, the residents of La Paz (Los Pacenos), come out to watch the sunset. Mothers with babies, children on roller-blades, women walker’s with iPod headset in ears, bicyclers, and just off the cruise ship pier, salsa dancers.
La Paz is a very special place.
