Hotel Castillo Santa Cecilia Guanajuato

... already after 2.<br><br>There are several different bus lines, offering differing levels of comfort and speed, and also different times. One called ETN had been recommended to me by several people, so my heart sank when I saw that their next bus wasn't until 4:30. I almost bought a ticket anyway, since that was the only familiar name, but decided to have a quick tour of all the other ticket desks first. Five minutes later had a first class ticket for a window seat ...

... tallest hill, to watch the sun rise, only to discover there was already a crowd there getting ready to start the next day of festivities. Not to mention the greasy and delicious tacos we scarfed at 6:30 that morning, right before starting our climb...dinner for (early) breakfast! As Ana would say, porque no?<br> <br><br> We got back to GDL four days later; exhausted, dirty, and happy as churros rellenos. <br>

... gorgeous little boy, Daniel. Conversation was limited since I speak so little Spanish and they speak so little English, but the music was loud anyway, and the energy was warm and friendly.<br>The next morning, Daniel drove me through a maze of tunnels (a former mine) to Guantajuato. It's world heritage site, so much of the old hispanic architecture is beautifully preserved or restored. It's easy to see why it's such a popular tourist destination.

Well, I have only been in school one week. Seems like forever. <br><br> The first day was very interesting. Lupita and JJoe walked me to school. (I had only been there once previously) It was like I was a kid, but I def. appreciated it. They are awesome. In class I am the only one starting new. There is one other girl who is from Japan. She is fun. We laughed so much. I have 2 classes that ...

... seem to always be on the streets. No matter the time of day. They seem to go to bed around 2-4 am. and wake up around 10. It is weird to walk around at night and see so many people. <br><br>- There are dumpsters around to put trash in ( they don't come door to door). But, in the center of town a man will walk about a block in front of the trash truck ringing a bell. This is to let everyone inside know that the truck is coming and they have the ...

... cases remain unresolved.  U.S. citizens who believe they are being targeted for kidnapping or other crimes should notify Mexican officials and the nearest American consulate or the Embassy as soon as possible, and should consider returning to the United States. U.S. citizen visitors are encouraged to stay in the well-known tourist areas of the cities.  Travelers should leave their itinerary with a friend or family member not traveling with them ...

Guanajuato is a very pleasant city, yet another in this area of Mexico whose entire centre is a world heritage site. Groups of musicians, called callejoneadas, give nightly tours in song through the city's tiny streets. Mexicans' fascination with death has long been noted and the most ...

... to expect) have pretty much told me NO WAY!... so i will not be in attendance. Nonetheless... I`m still going to events... and still very excited for everything to start up... It´s almost October and people are getting very excited. hmm... Last week after classes, I decided to take a little walk around town. I found myself in the dead center of a PEACEFUL protest of teachers (from all over Mexico) fighting for changes in Mexico's curriculum. They chose Guanajuato because so many ...

... be proud - I arranged the whole thing in Spanish ;-) We didn't get to see any formal Cervantino performances, because they were all sold out by the time we arrived on Saturday, but the town was one big bundle of excitement. We visited the "Callejon del Beso" - a very narrow alleyway where a pair of balconies are only 17" apart, allowing forbidden kisses to be exchanged by a young couple, until her father drove a dagger through her heart in a fit of rage at ...

Guanajuato is a very cool town, a lot like Zacatecas, but with more of the town snatched straight out of the 17th century, and a corresponding increase in tourists. The streets are narrow and hectic with no discernible pattern to their layout. A really interesting place to wander around, and I'd imagine, hellish to drive in. One of the most famous sites there, more for freak value than because of any historical significance, is the Mummy Museum. Apparently the town cemetery has ...
