Discovering San Cristobal - April 20, 2012
 |
| Barrio Guadeloupe |
San Cristobal has been the
"Land of Discovery" for me. Although not everyday am I ready to wander the barrios, churches, hillsides and andadors - my body revolts some days or other activities take priority - but I am loving exploring this town.
At the opposite end of the Guadeloupe Andador from the Zocalo, high above downtown, stands the Templo de Gaudeloupe. The neighborhood surrounding this lovely church is called Barrio Guadeloupe.

The only way to get to the Church is UP, with steep stairs leading to it from 3 cardinal directions, the most noteworthy being the steps facing the Andador and the Zocalo.
In Guadeloupe's Exquisite Nave is a reclining "Black Jesus".
I'm never sure whether taking pictures in Church is in "bad taste" or not, but if I don't take them, I can't share what I am seeing and experiencing here....

From atop Guadeloupe Hill, one can view the other Barrios around it, like Cuxtitali, where I am staying, just ~ 8 blocks from the center of town. (This neighborhood has wonderful streets made of pavers laid in geometric patterns.) The views from up here are wonderful!
