More Cheese Please

With a new city waiting to be explored, we hurried out to get our bearings and map out our surroundings.  The city has a beautiful Zocalo with many trees, fountains (working), and cobbled sidewalks.  We contacted the local information office only to find out this small city is famous for...the ridiculous number of Roman Catholic Churches it hosts.  From the map, it looks like one on just about every corner.  Wow.  We looked at a few of the churches, but then decided to find the city bus station and look into any day trips we may want to tackle.  The station is located north of the city (a fact we did not know because we were left on a median yesterday), so we took a local bus there to explore.  Finding our information quickly we stopped for lunch at a local restaurant.  We ordered some yummy sounding sandwiches only to be presented with gargantuan meat creations on buns with a pound of cheese on each.  The portions we have received in Mexico so far have been adequate, but not excessive.  These puppies were more than a mouthful, with some cheese to spare.  Dean took the brunt of the cheese glut by volunteering to eat what others could not.  A real trooper, he downed at least a couple pounds of our excess cheese.  Not feeling well this evening, he is laying down, but may have found a sure fire cure for Montezuma's Revenge.
