The other day when we were out walking around we walked by the Obelisk. This used to be situated in downtown Guaymas and at some point, I don't know what year, was moved; but probably when they were re-doing the street because of heavier traffic flow. It is now situated at the juncture where the road splits into two. One road taking you onto the highway through Empalme and south and the other street (Serdan) going to downtown Guaymas.
It is also now missing the wreath at the top that you can see in the old photos. I don't know what happened to that; but it is no longer there.
It seems like everytime we go by this I never have my camera; but the other day I did, so took some pictures.

Good shots of the obelisk and its new setting. I pass that fountain whenever I go to Spanish lessons, and it's always inviting. I'm surprised there aren't mobs of kids wading around in it during summer.
Does it commerate something or just put up for decoration??
Bliss, I think if it wasn't in such a high traffic area the kids might wade in it.
Wayne, I think that it commenerates a battle that was won in 1854 on the 13th of Julio; but I can't seem to find anything, anywhere about it for sure.
