PILSEN: MEXICAN DISTRICT IN CHICAGO

Today we have visited in the Pilsen neighborhood, the Mexican area of Chicago which is in the south of the city.

First of all, we stopped to buy some "churros" at El moro de Letrán, a churro factory(1626 S. Blue Island Avenue, Chicago, IL. The churros were quite different compared to the Spanish churros but they were delicious. 

After that we visited The National Museum of Mexican Art (1852. W. 19th Street, Chicago, IL.) which had very colorful and interesting paintings Then, we walked around and could see spectacular murals that some artists paint in the street...

We had lunch at La Taquería El Mezquite (1756 W. 18th Street, Chicago, IL). The bus picked us up at 2pm and we went back to school where we met our partners and got ready for an exciting weekend......
