In the morning, Richard took the bus downtown to find the Museo de Artesanias, which included a little serenade on the bus. The Museo was OK, but it was more interesting to talk to the guide. I have included a picture of an exvoto from the museum, a man thanking God for giving him the opportunity to buy a tractor.
The guide mentioned that there was a nearby museum of the Martyrs of the Christero wars, so Richard walked over there, and found a small Diocesan museum devoted to the martyrs. The most striking thing was the quotes from the martyrs.
"Do not worry, our blood will wash away our sins"
"Since the day that I was ordained a priest, I have been asking our Lord God for the grace of martyrdom."
In the late afternoon, we took a taxi to Tlaquepaque, to see the mariachis and to eat an excellent dinner at La Casa Fuerte.
