Where Our City Began...

Clue #3

Thanks to the Spanish, in every city in Mexico you

will find this.  Defined by a large square, a church,

and a government building, this location is the

centre of our city.  Originally an island with

pyramids, this is where our city began.  This

location is one of the main reasons we love where

we live.

When you arrive, find the BLUE page in your

packet and follow the directions.

Make sure you bring a pencil and your CAMERA!

***********************************************

We are at the Zócalo.  Here is Christopher in front of the church that stands in the middle of the square.


The church is quite old and is leaning quite a bit.  In fact, Brian wasn't too fond of walking to close to it. Although the kids and I were welcoming the shade.

A *fun* picture in the square.

Isn't it beautiful?

Surrounding the square are other "official" buildings such as government offices.  (They weren't as interesting so we didn't take any pictures.)
