 The Catedral de la Asuncion sits across the plaza
(temporarily boarded up while we were there) opposite the Palacio de
Gobierno.

 Some Sonoran donkeys give us the once-over as we drive by.
|
 Sonoran river, complete with horse and overturned
vehicle
|
 Sonora, largely made up of agricultural land, mountains,
desert, and coastal area, is Mexico's second largest state.

 Another shot of the well-manicured grounds of the Holiday
Inn in Hermosillo
|
 Tons of traffic in front of the Palacio de Gobierno in
Hermsillo
|
 The Government Palace was formerly the Sonoran Institute of
Fine Arts, converted in 1884.
|
 The Cathedral was built between 1876 and 1941.
|
 The cathedral was originally an just an adobe chapel long
before it became the beautiful structure that it is today.
|
 The Catedral de la Asuncion was constructed in its present
form, due to the efforts of local Hermosillan women, who petitioned the
Catholic diocese to replace the decaying original.
|
 Pleasant view from our second-floor room at the Holiday Inn
|
 We spent the first night of our trip at the Fiesta
Americana in Hermosillo, and our last night at the Holiday Inn Hermosillo,
just to get a taste of two different hotels.
|
 The Holiday Inn's restaurant, Los Dardines, overlooks the
pool area.
|
 The pool is inviting - even on an overcast
morning.
|
 Approximately a half million people live in this arid city.
|
 Many steps lead up to an unusual and difficult-to-reach
roadside shrine.
|
 It's even more difficult to reach either side of the river
using this rickety bridge!
|
 The Palacio was almost completely burned down in 1948.
|
 The interesting gray- and white-colored Governor's Palace
faces the Plaza Zaragoza.
|
 These forlorn burros look like they need
help!!
