Tepotzlan - afternoon

Tepotlzan (afternoon) - After we climbed to the pyramid we had lunch in the Mercado, from there we visited a church called Convento Dominico de la Natividad.  Outside the church was an amazing mural made of seeds (semillas) that is changed every September during a festival. The church we visited used to function as a monestary and had very interesting details. There was even a defunct bathroom. The views were amazing from the windows of the church.

Also inside the church was a museum which had lots of cultural information about Tepotzlan. Our guide, Roberto, was born in Tepotzlan and still lives there. He had the inside story about what makes this town special. The town leaders actually listen to the population and they have successfully avoided big name stores to keep the small town feel. The map shows how land ownership works with most of the land being considered "communal". After we left the museum/church we hopped back on the bus for the half hour bus ride back to Cuernavaca.
