I rode behind along with the stable hand, who had to accompany us as a guide. We had a wonderful time trying to communicate. I learned so much.<\/p>\n<p>Later that morning, Bob took me around to the palace we\u2019d been to last night. I took a picture of the bullring where \u201cPepe\u201d had been filmed.

I snapped this picture as it passed.\u00a0 Note the bottled H2O, which was very common to us.<\/p>\n<p>That after noon, we drove to Taxco, the City of Silver where I bought a sterling silver ring for 35-pesos, which was $2.85.
