Guanajuato!


What a beautiful city. There are lots of little hills and narrow alleyways here, and the buildings are painted in bright colors. It has a kind of European feel to it, actually. We arrived here yesterday around noon and have been exploring ever since. Today we took the funicular up to the top of the mountain to take in the view. Then we walked down and wandered some more. It's Monday, which we've discovered is the day when a lot of places are closed. Tomorrow morning we will get an earlier start to make sure we go inside the Teatro Juarez and the Diego Rivera house. We found the Callejon del Beso, where the balconies across from one another are close enough to kiss the person on the other side. I can see why people are so charmed by this place.
