SAN LUIS FOUNTAINS AND STATUE

Each park or square has a fountain and some have interesting statues. The man feeding the pigeons is my favorite.

T'EMPLO DEL CARMAN

No we aren 't tried of seeing churchs, each one is a surprise inside and sometimes alot of WOW. I'm amazed at the flower arrangements and the number of them. One church we visited had over 25 just in the alter area.

SAN LUIS POTOSI

This is the Templo del Carman on the Plaza del Carman. The museo del Virreinato,is next and has a large collection of painting from the 1500 on. We were delighted with the exhibit on La Poza at Xilita. We plan to visit there next week. We thought San Luis Potosi was going to be snoggy industrial town so we have alway avoided it. We took the bus in from Gogorron to the central bus station and took a cab down to the central historic area which is colonial building, university and commerical. All the north south street were blocked to all cars the east west streets only had taxis, bikes and cars . The streets and sidewalks were flat stone and easy to walk on.
