Guadalajara: Part 1
We took a trip to Guadalajara to see the sights and check out the town. Guadalajara is the second largest city in Mexico with 4 million people and is a three hour bus ride from Morelia. What struck me most is that despite it's size, Guadalajara has a very tranquil atmosphere.

I took this picture of an Agave field from the bus. Tequila is made from Agave which is a big, blue plant that grows all over Mexico. Only liquor made with the Agave from the state of Jalisco can be called Tequila. Everything else is, well, something else. Guadalajara is the capital of Jalisco.
Standing in front of a typical Guadalajara pedestrian street in the Centro. The climate in Guadalajara is just a little bit hotter than Morelia but still mostly mild compared to what you are probably thinking.
Normally filled with speeding cars, this busy downtown street is closed for business and open for pleasure on Sundays. An amazing idea that produces a wholly agreeable weekend atmosphere right in the heart of the city.
Marisol pretending she doesn't know I'm taking a picture.
Weigh yourself on this machine that must be 100 years old...only 1 peso!
Marisol enjoying her results.
