Wendy takes us to Guanajuato  

02/19/06 - Guanajuato, MX (Photos)

Wendy and her friend Victor tour us around Guanajuato

 

Our SMA friend Wendy offered to take us on a tour of the nearby colonial town of Guanajuato, where she had lived for three months a couple of years ago.  Like San Miguel, Guanajuato is a Spanish colonial mining town steeped in history.  But, unlike San Miguel, this university town has a young, vibrant feel to it.  The buildings, streets, and shops also seems very European, more so than SMA.  Wendy and her Guanajuato friend Victor showed us around for a few hours before heading back home before dark (shouldn't be driving those un-lit Mexican roads after dark... too many cows, dogs, burros, and Mexican families wandering the roads!).  It was a nice taste of Guanajuato, and I'm sure we'll take our upcoming guests there for a visit to see something a little different.
