Taxco (Tass-Ko), Guerrero

During Christmas we were given some time off since he office was closed during the holidays. Well we are not ones to skip an opportunity, to we headed out to some of the places we wanted to see or had been recommended to us by friends.
Taxco is about 3 hours from Mexico City in the State of Guerrero. Its a very charming colonial city, and like many colonial cities they paint all the buildings the same colors. Taxco is famous for its silver and there are lots of artists that live there and make silver jewlery.



The big church in town, where all the action is.

The interior of the church had walls covered in statues and gold leaf. Speaking personally, I think the baby faces are a little creepy...



We hiked up to an overlook ofthe city and got lost in its small passageways and tiny streets. We found several shrines along the way...
