Birds and Church

Later that same day, my host brother and host mom took me out to see more of the city. We first headed downtown for me to see one of the city's oldest churches. I found the facade outside to be really interesting. Take a look at the scene depicted at the top of the church...

Natives facing off against friars, conquistadores and... businessmen? I don't think the illustrations are as old as that church...

Anyways, we headed next to a nature preserve/ zoo on the edge of town. It was a really cool place actually. Birds everywhere. Herons and ducks of all types. And the Jurassic Park-esqe birds running around on the group. I'm not sure, but I think the plant below was plantains/bananas growing too!
