Selfie while waiting
We got back to the tender at the last minute. Of course there were hundreds of people there. We had to wait a long time for the tenders to come get us.
Art vendors
They took us to a street where they had street vendors selling local wares. It was really good shopping because most of the wares were hand made, not typical tourist stuff.
Funny
It was really funny that these flowers were by the gift shop. There were people standing in line to take photos of them. I think a lot of people thought this was going to be a botanical garden with flowers, not just trees.
Interesting
Even though it was only trees, it was interesting.
Cool!
The tree was very cool. It was super old. the roots are so strong our guide swung from them like Tarzan!
Good selfie!
Still on the tender. You can see we're on tour 11.

Catedral de San Cristobal
Also known as the Cathedral of The Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception, the cathedral was completed in 1777 by the Franciscans. It wasn't open. I'm not sure if that was because of the day of the week or the time, it was getting late.
