We walked to the Royal Palace and say about 20 of the 2800 rooms. All of them were so elaborately decorated, but by far the chapel was the most unbelievable. When we left, me and a few other USAC people went in search of the world's oldest restaurant, but we couldn't find it. We ended up eating outside in the plaza meyor and I ordered a chorizo sandwich,
