Everybody got a cinco?

It is so sad that this is the last post I get to write on our DrawMexico Blog. Today was a pretty low-key day. We first caught a bus out on Paseo Montejo and took it out to a a little more unfamiliar part of town that was pretty quiet. We stopped to ask a cotton candy seller where the Museum of Popular Art was and we ended up at the Museum of the Yucatecan Song. We stopped in to look at the exhibits on the various musicians of the Yucatan and drew some of the instruments on display. After a while we could all feel our blood-sugars drop and we decided to get some lunch at a pizza place close by. Then we made our way over to Museum of Popular Art, a little place off the square that was once a really pretty house...
Anyways we walked upstairs and the first room had traditional huipiles and other clothing that was hand-embroidered. It was really awesome to see such beautiful craftsmanship. Walking through to the third room, there was a little hallway that has bathroom off to the right that is original to the house and inside, they put these awesome jaguar sculptures in, but it looked like they were caught in the act of drinking out of the toilet and the bidet.

In the next couple of rooms were full of masks and these really crazy awesome papier-mache monster things...

Some of my favorite things in the museum were these sculptures full of these miniature sculptures with really fine details.

After we looked at everything at the museum, including a sword with the inscription "Me gusta la carne humana," we walked a few blocks over to the HC to do some drawing exercises with a CD we bought at the music museum. Then it was definitely siesta time so we caught a bus back to the house.
Well folks, it has been real...
