Gran Plaza Guanajuato Hotel & Convention Center

And what a lovely room it is - extra comfortable double bed, side tables, reading lamp, dressing table with mirror, wardrobe, full length mirror on the door, desk and bookshelf, a big bright window and a little space heater. The walls are generously decorated with pictures of angels, Mary, a big flower painting, and a street scene of a town in Europe (I think). It really is a great room. The only slight annoyances - and I do mean slight in view of all the good ...

... me at the bus stop in Guanajuato was to leave my favorite, hand woven vest (from Rosemary in Australia) in his car - one of the two warmish garments that I had brought. But at the time, that was the least of my worries because I was so overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the busy bus station where everyone was yammering away in Spanish (!) and the need to get a bus to SMA. I'd told my future hosts that I'd be showing up at their place between 4 and 5 - and it ...

... huge, free concerts in the hundred-year old amphitheater, including Willie Chorino (a Cuban singer), Paquito D`Rivera (a kickass sax player also from Cuba...he brought his whole jazz orchestra), and others. Tons of strolling and exploring. Visits to The Don Quixote museum (and statue...see below), the Diego Rivera/Frieda Kahlo museum, and the creepy Museo de los Mommias, a collection of disinterred ...

... history of the first sedentary Mexican people (the Olmecs) and another detailing the story of the Jesuit monks from their beginnings to their eventual expulsion from Mexico by the king of Spain.<br>When I confessed to the young woman selling tickets that I couldn't speak Spanish and so probably wouldn't understand much, she replied that she spoke English, so not to worry because if I liked, she would accompany me with explanations ...

... torta cubana (esèce de sandwich contenant du jambon, un oeuf, des tomates, de l'avocat, du poulet, de la saucisse, des frijoles, etc...) mais réussira par contre l'épreuve du chili asado (piment doré à la poele, très piquant, ne manquez pas la vidéo !!)<br><br>Nous grimpons les ruelles jusqu'à arriver tout en haut de la ville, où nous profitons d'une magnifique vue juste à l'heure du coucher de soleil.<br><br>

... weather, No. 2 the weather and No. 3 the weather".  In the 42 days we were in Mexico we had daily temperatures ranging from 20 deg. C. in the interior to 30 deg. C. on the coast and about 4 days of cloudy weather in Chiapas (southern state). (These were daytime temperatures.)  Compare that with last year's four-week Hawaii stay, which we made about the same time of year. We had about 10 days of sunny weather, a fair number of rainy days and much ...

Se me hizó tarde ¨it made me late¨ Sorry, I am a buttface for not writing you guys last week. lets see. my computer is of no use to me whatsoever at this point. None of my keys are working and i need to put in my master password to start it up, so i am pretty much locked out of it till i come home. This was a really ****** situtation, as I wrote my history paper ahead of time (one of the only times in my life I have made the effort to write a paper ahead of time)on ...

... I began to think.. "maybe these are not mosquito bites".. as they were quite itchy and red. So.. I called mom.. and shared with her my itchiness... she told me that I should wait and talk to Imelda... because she has a better knowledge of the bugs here... later that day.. I asked our maid Juanita what she thought of my itchy bites... and she immediately told me that it looked like I was having an allergic reaction and that bug bites would be bigger. she looked kinda worried. When ...

We woke up this morning a bit tired but my energy would be restored upon arriving to Guanajuato. The bus station is actually a 10-15 minute busride away from the city. This city is awesome!!! There is a underground rad system which has been nominated as a top 13 marvels of Mexico. Life here seems really chill like most places in Mexico. The architectural scale here reminds me of Cinque Terre, Italy with narrow streets and ...

... It was a bit contradictory to the whole exercise, however, when he suddenly double-parked on a busy one-lane street to buy donuts from a street vendor, but who am I to question the tactics of a gifted street general such as this? Barra de Navidad turned out to be a disappointment. Rather than being a small, quiet Mexican beach town, it was more of a tiny resort geared towards snowbirds and yachters. Which basically meant tourist prices, no local flavour, and half the town ...
