More images from el centro

After classes today, I took the bus downtown, walked around, and shot off some more photos. The center of town was noticeably more crowded than usual. Because of its proximity to Mexico City, Cuernavaca is a popular destination for those living there who wish to escape the crowds, traffic, and pollution and being semana santa, the streets here in downtown Cuernavaca are now full of tourists, presumably many from Mexico City. Here's a little bit of what I saw...

A typical home/store...
