Silent Movie at Night

Friday, May, 27

After classes, I went to the Museo Archaelogia, which has its own post. Then I came back for alumerzo, and then went back out to see a silent Vampire movie: el Vampiro. It was a series, like a television show, and most of my companeros didn't like it so much, so we left after a while. I enjoyed it though. It was silent with English and Spanish subtitles. It was so much fun to watch a silent movie and how they explained the proceedings and events through the titles, but also the music and facial expressions of the characters.



After the movie, we walked around town for a while. We eventually decided to go to the helerderia, or ice cream shop. I bought a pina colada drink. So amazingly wonderful. Then we went home.

Im not quite sure what this buidling is at the moment. It is directly across from el Palacio Gobierno and in between the catedral and the ayunamiento. But most of the buildings in the Plaza Grade are lit up like this. It's like Christmas everyday.



And of course this is the catedral at night.



Everyday: Most people here have fences of some sort. Some of there are just cement plastered on top of rocks. For these kinds of fences broken glass bottles are spread across the top. (Other more expensive fences have spikes as decoration). The broken glass is used to keep things out, and people of course. But sights like this are very common as I walk about through the neighborhoods.
