Day seventeen: visiting...

I was about to title this "Monterrey cont'd" but that title would apply to all other posts after that so I'll just leave it.

Today I went downtown with my sister to walk around and see stuff. Monterrey isn't really a nice city but from time to time you do get to see something interesting. plus they cleaned/built/reorganized quite a bit to welcome the Forum of World Cultures 2007, so it's not that bad.



the Alliance Française


This is a very spicy sauce and I put it all over my taco AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY


Big orange thingy with laser on top


Said laser is activated at night for a seemingly unimportant purpose (point at stuff, heh) but I'm sure it's really a MIND CONTROL DEVICE... *puts on tinfoil hat*

street and square




Guy on horse pointing finger in a dramatic pose


Church


If you squint you'll notice some of the figures up there are actual people


other places








Arriving at the Forum

Paseo de Santa Lucia

The Cerro de la Silla, symbol of Monterrey


same, zoomed out


These figures symbolize people from the artist's village who emigrated to the US. There are 2,501 statues. Every statue has a different face.


The Museo del Acero is located inside the old factory.


Tomorrow, ice skating!
