Today was museum day for us. We visited Casa de los Venados, which actually isn’t a museum, but rather, an art collector’s home which he opens up to tours. Then we visited Museo San Roque, which focuses on the history of the Yucatán. Finally, we went to the convent and went into their museum and grounds, which was more interesting than I expected, largely because it was built over top of a Cenote. \n\n

Did you know?? The history of the piñata can actually be dated back to Chinese history, when paper figures were filled with seeds, and broken as a way to bring good luck. It is thought that Marco Pollo saw this celebration in China and brought it back to Italy.
