Casa de los azulejos

After our AM lecture/discussion we went to have lunch at "Casa de los azulejos" a Sanborns restaurant. Sanborns is a chain of local restaurants that one can find everywhere while in Mexico. This particular restaurant, Casa de los Azulejos, was at one time the house of a very wealthy count. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_de_los_Azulejos,_Mexico_City
