View from the rooftop garden toward the Temple of Santo Domingo. The apartment is on the second and top floor. A great garden on the roof with table, chairs, flowers and views.
We rolled our 50+ pound suitcases from the hotel, a bit more than a mile, over some pretty rough roads and sidewalks. In many places, the building walls leave as little as 2 feet of sidewalk. Throw in a light post and it's a tight squeeze for just a person to get by.
It was very nice to get the apartment set up. We went to the market next to the Zócalo to buy food: a very humbling experience. Should I pay what is asked? Should I barter? Do I understand what anyone is saying in Spanish? (very little) But we managed to come back with some great fruits and vegetables.
We then went to what is nearly an exact duplicate of WalMart to get soap, toilet paper, etc. It seems incongruous to find that here.
