The Jardine

Norma had an appointment to get something “done” to her face and feet this morning. She thought it might take an hour but it turned into three and a half. The interesting part was, she got to talk to Toller Cranston who was also having an overhaul. I patiently waited in the Jardine for her and snapped a few shots:

Dried flower sales:

Plaza Of The Conspirators. This was where the plans to kick the Spanish out were hatched in 1810. It was right across the street from the Spanish HQ and the meetings were held under the guise of "dances".

The Church "Parroquia San Miguel Arcangel". Once again, no lightening as I walked in.

The home of Captain Ignacio José de Allende y Unzaga, or simply Ignatio Allende, one of the Fathers of the Revolution and a regular at the above “dances”.

  1. You people are hilarious! You are always meeting some celebrity. Okay, but what does getting "done" mean because if it works I want to do it too.
