Views from the trolly....

Here the cables are kind of close to our heads, but there were times when we were sitting and had to duck so we didn't lose our heads. A couple times we had to make people sit down so they didn't get hurt!






This was a beautiful way to see the city. Most of our time we were only within our 4 block radius, but we loved being able to see how big and old and pretty everything was! We all were dreading going home on Monday and wished that we had two or more days to see more!
There was a beautiful park which reminded me of being in Spain, we didn't get to go back and see it, but it looked really pretty....it was where our hostel owner suggested we go eat a picnic lunch and if we had had an extra day I think we would have!


Torreon is a really modern industrial city and Zacatecas was an old historic city that was so full of colors and where people were proud of their city! One morning we were sitting in the plaza outside of a cathedral and an elderly couple came up to us and asked us where we were from and if we were enjoying their city and that they were happy to see young girls like us enjoying the beauty too! People in Torreon don't stop and talk to you unless they are going to say something you don't want to hear!
