| we find ourselves back in the 16th century! |
 |
 |
| the first Colegio de San Nicolas built by Quiroga in 1540, which now houses the Museo Regional de Artes Populares |
 |
| Spanish ladies moved here, failing to find a suitable husband, and this baroque bath was built for their use |
 |
| the Colegio is now full of shops selling local artists' wares |
 |
| mostly absent here are the flat roofs we are used to seeing in Mexico |
 |
| the town is built on hillsides, with cobblestone streets |
 |
| more of the Colegio grounds |
 |
| the Dance of the Little Old Men is a popular entertainment created shortly after the Conquest to poke fun at the Spaniards |
 |
| Sunday afternoon and everyone's in the Plaza |
