Day 2- Mining Museum


We woke up, got ready, had breakfast and left to go to the mine museum.  It was pretty neat.  We got to walk around the museum part, then watch some videos about it and then go down the shaft into the mine.  We got to go to different stations and you push a button and a former miner comes on and speaks to you about what they did in the part of the mine.  It was really fascinating.  We found out that Enrique's grandpa was a miner.  He was the manager that was in charge of paying the miners.  We heard new stories about him, it was pretty neat and to hear Enrique's dad's perspective.
