The inter city bus system in Mexico is great. You can take comfy first class buses with on board toilets, reclining seats, reserved seats, and TV movies (OK so you've seen Forest Gump--but in Spanish? And I bet you didn't see the Britney Spears movie even in English.) But sometimes, like our day trip to Delores Hildalgo, you only have a choice of second class, no TV, no toilet, and it stops on demand along the way but it was only about 40 minutes away so no big deal.

Delores Hildalgo is one of the main sites of the Mexican Independence Movement and has a couple small musuems, a church on the town square, and hundreds of pottery shops. The bus stop is a short walk from the center but some of the shops are in the outlying areas.

We spent a pleasant day wandering around and learned more about Mexican history. Some of the museum entries are bilingual.
