Guanajuato at last

Just arrived in Guanajuto... City is carved into a mountain...tunnels galore, absolutley alive with backpackers, students and travelers from all ove. this is MEXICO my friends and a definite must see again city.

Went to a restaurant for dinner tonight...BBQ in a brick oven...absolutley fantastic...had the carne asada Greg had the Puerco asada...dinner was almost ruined when a local came begging at the tables for pesos...this was so she could buy herself some new false teeth...made no qualms at all about showing us in livid detail..sorry no pics of this...but your imagination could not begin to touch the real image....yeechh! Two guys packing gutars came in and played some songs for us...did a terrific version of La Paloma for all of us...we sat and drank beeer with an entire family spending holidays together...after the musician left two of the younger boys sang about five songs for all acapella..strange how each of the songs had the exact same tune. I just have to say, that this trip is absolutley everything I thought it would be (and only day 3!!) yet it is eclipsing the trip to Guadalajara and San Blas I took almost 4 years ago. Hey please leave us comments and suggestions and some ADVICE for us...as we still seem to be lacking THE VOICE OF REASON. See you tomorrow after the meseo de los mommias.

The Casa De Zacatenas

Handsome don'tcha think?...this is in the tower at the Casa de Zacatena..the place where one women wanted it all and couldn{t have it...as the story concludes, shortly after she dispensed with her husband...and the servant (no one knows who the second body belonged to), her body as found in the street with multiple stab wounds...further investigation showed that the perpatrators climbed a ladder to her bed chambers, stabbed her (all the blood on the bed sheet proved this...and quietly took the body and dumped it in the middle of the street (to show others what infidelity can bring you) about a block away from the mansion.

In an un related story, Greg was hungry and is getting ready to eat a sandwich..it was really good.

On our way to Guanajuato....but first before we need lunch and a bathroom break...lunch was something called GORDITAs....40 cents each we had two each and a Coke...that was lunch and was it filling!!

Heres Greg with his experience with an underground bathroom, an M16...nah why ruin it for you...Heres Greg......I went to a public bathroom in an underground parkade,there was a Federale with an M16 and way too serious look on his face...after my 2 peso break,i tried to ask him if he was guarding the toilet, he did not

quite understand me (a good thing perhaps as THE VOICE OF REASON was obviously still AWOL).
