Semana Santa

We hope everyone has had a beautiful holiday. Cuernavaca was packed with tourists this long weekend! During this time the city is not just a destination for American and Canadian tourists, but a very large number of tourists from Mexico City and other neighboring areas. I heard on the radio on Saturday that no one should even consider getting on the highway back to Mexico City between 3 and 7 PM yesterday because of all the traffic.

I spent the weekend in the center with my parents. They were really impressed (I was too) with how clean the streets were kept. Cuernavaca has also recently finished a pretty big renovation of the streets and sidewalks in the center. It is now easier to walk around (even in high heels) and way better lit at night. The renovation even included repainting of some of the giant walls of private and public houses and buildings downtown. It looks great!
