The Sparsest Public Square I've Seen in Two Months.

From 19 Monterrey

This Spanish colonial city was founded in the furthest outreaches of the empire.

The cathedral is fine, if a bit rustic.

No shade yet. Gravel makes it look like it look more unfinished than it already is. No restaurants (except for this one that sold the some of the worst bar-b-qued meat I have tasted on this trip) or bars of any kind. One of the least interesting social scenes, as you can tell from the photo.

Let's hope it gets better.
