On September 16, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo assembled all of the people in town at the church to prepare to fight for the independence of Mexico. It was pretty interesting to see where the fight for independence began! Here's a picture of the church:
From this place harangued the father of the the country to the people who met in the atrium the morning of September 16, 1810The inside of the church was just beautiful. The decorations and paintings were breath-taking, and the walls behind the altar and pulpit were intricately detailed. All of the churches here in Mexico are like that; I've never seen anything like it!
To continue, we visited the home of Miguel Hidalgo. It had more of a museum-like atmosphere rather than that of someone's preserved home, but it was still pretty nice.
Before leaving, we stopped to buy some "typical" ice cream that you would find in Dolores Hidalgo. Here's a picture of one of the ice cream stands:
The flavors are ...interesting to say the least. Some of the odd flavors include: shrimp, beer, tequila, cucumber, lime, angel's kiss, rose petal, rice with milk, mole (a mexican sauce), and more. I tried some of the odd flavors but ended up buying macademia ice cream. It was probably some of the best ice cream I have ever had! It was so rich.
I would definitely go back for some more!
