Goodness in Guadalajara



I love this town. It's beautiful and cultural and filled with plazas and students and artists and street performers and warmth and light and sunshine. Really, it's a fantastic town and I want to move here and restore the old homes in the downtown area and resell them at a profit.

We spent yesterday in Tequilla, learning about Tequilla. Had an amazing dinner of duck breast in a rose petal sauce and sea bass sauted in cactus and squash blossoms. Today we were at the biggest market in Guadalajara... to call it crazy would be a huge understatement. Tonight we're off to listen to live jazz under the stars in a plaza with the acoustics made better by the towering cathedral walls surrounding the cafe. This town rocks.

Do you think the sculptor who made this statue anticipated that this man's head would be used as a baño for pigeons and made his face outraged accordingly?

Hey, here's a coincidence! I just ate lunch at Taqueria Guadalajara down the street! It's almost like being in the real Guadalajara!
Like i always say, "Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue."
