Surrounding the main square there were statues of Chihuahua dogs all painted with different themes. I cannot believe I didn't take any pictures of the dogs! My favorite was painted black with the constellations spread out across its body. We found out from Ana's aunt that Chihuahua had recently had an International Festival and the dogs were part of it.
We did a little Day of the Dead shopping (several of Steph's friends had requested a souvenir sugar skull), stopped at the bakery for Mexican cookies and Dead bread, then headed back to Carmen's.
Carmen was preparing a fantastic lunch of chicken (especially for me), veggies and rice so we ran to the tortilla store while she finished up. The tortilla store is basically around the corner and it was a big room with a counter. Behind the counter was an enormous tortilla makin' machine and that was it. I found that to be pretty typical of specialty stores. No fuss, no muss, just what they sell...and Coke (Coca in Spanish)...everyone sells Coke! So we took our still hot tortillas home and enjoyed a fabulous lunch.
After lunch there were more visitors. After dark there was a trip to the overlook where you can see the how big Chihuahua is. This picture shows about 1/4 of the city.
