Rainey Week 3--More Cuernavaca and pyramids

Cuernavaca had lots more to offer: Mario and I explored streets that looked like Charleston, SC and saw doors that looked like those I saw in Ireland, with the doorknobs in the middle.

We visited Jardín Borda, built in 1866, the garden of the house where Emperor Maximilian and Empress Carlota lived in the 1800s. Lots of beautiful flowers and fountains, and an exhibit of artwork that reminded me of the Holocaust in Europe.

At the Robert Brady Museum, we saw even more flowers and artwork. Robert Brady spent much of his life traveling the world, collecting beautiful artwork and embellishing his Cuernavaca home.

After the museums, Mario got a raspado (aka a snowcone in US), and then we watched the dancers and met the girls to catch a taxi to the bus station and back home.
