Erskine: Searching the birthplace of the Mexican War of Independence
Take a walk with me up a narrow cobbled street hemmed in by centuries-old masonry walls with massive carved wooden doors and sculpted trim around the windows. At the top of the hill, we reach the town square bustling with locals chatting on benches. Just across the plaza is a 450-year-old church with gothic arches reaching up toward heaven. Inside the church, we walk beneath an awesome succession of altars trimmed in gold leaf and decorated with a gaudy array of carvings and paintings.
