Toluca P-day activity

On the Friday after Thanksgiving we took an excursion to Toluca.  It was just the Calls and us.  It took an hour to go south and west to Toluca.

We stepped into a Catholic church and I particularly liked this instruction for the Catholic women to please wear modest clothing that covers their body.   

This was a beautiful church that was a little more modern looking that the rest.

The town plaza and stage

Toluca is know for its sausage.  Dennis had scrambled eggs and red sausage for lunch.

More of the town plaza (at least one of the plazas)

I bought a colored and a plain basket from this grandmother and her granddaughter.

This priest was giving a mass

Dennis stopped for a shoe shine. You can get one on any block.

Fun playground with motorized cars on a track for the children.

Woman begging outside of a church.  I gave her some money

more old churches in more town plazas

lots of sagging old doors on the churches

A more modern part of town with marigolds planted for the Day of the Dead Celebration that was November 1st.  

super tight parking in Toluca.  Our is the white car in front.  It was shuffled around as all the cars are double parked in this lot.  We just leave our keys and they move it as needed.  The cars are available from the CCM.  It has the name of the church printed on the side.
