It is really amazing to see the difference in crowds between when we arrived in April and now in June. In April we would find ourselves in alleys in the Palace alone sometimes, but now it is always full of people. I really do like both ways: Being alone there feels a bit magical, but it is also fun to see all of the tourists and the hustle and bustle. It is great people watching.

When does the tourist season really get in full swing? July? You will need to make a small map and point out all your favorite places you have discovered. Please start taking pictures of places with you included in the pictures. It is so much more fun to see someone I know in the pics.

We’ll see, I guess! I suspect that it won’t really affect us too much, will just make it a bit more difficult to get photographs with less people in them. Where we live is away from the center of town where the crowds would be. Don’t miss LaRosa’s for sure – the pizzas and pastas here are excellent. I think what I’ll miss the most food wise is Chipotle!

I still doubt it matches up with LaRosa’s, lol.

I agree with Brian that everything does look really cool. I think you’re right that it was good you arrived early in the year because I imagine a place as beautiful as that would be hopping with travelers wanting to take their own pictures. Do you have any idea of what the crowds will be like?
