We went to Centro Historico again today - we really like it there. For a city of 2.2 million people that area really feels like a small community. There was a celebration just ending when we arrived and we later heard that it was a celebration for mothers. There must have been a march as many of the streets were covered in rose petals. It was a beautiful day and we walked around and visited a few of the churches but mass was going on so we only could peak in. Emma and Danni were pretty wild today so churches were not the place for them anyway!! We were there for a few hours when some really dark clouds rolled in so we decided to find a place for lunch. We had a huge thunderstorm with hail again. That is the 3rd hail storm since we have been here. It is only pea size - nothing like what the cities had a week ago!! The restaurant we ate at was nice but very slow service! Service is quite slow every where but this was really slow!!! By the time we finally finished eating the sun was out and the streets were drying up!! We stopped at a museum that was about the evolution of money here. It was very interesting - well what I heard was interesting. Again, Emma and Danni were crazy and I spent most of my time chasing them!!! They are already partners in crime and know how to make mommy go crazy!! :) Michelle and Hayden enjoyed the tour a lot! One of the pictures is of a coin press. They could only make 14 coins in one day!! When that finally broke is when they started to use paper to print money.
Hayden has a slight sore throat today so he is trying to sleep it away. I guess I jinxed us when a few days ago I said no one has got sick yet!! It just may be allergies as he has really been a mess the past couple of weeks. We had a lot of dry weather and it is very dusty here. Emma and Danni are watching a movie. Nice quiet time for me!! :) It is raining again too!
Have a nice night! Mari
