Copper Canyon
Thanks, Dave and Merry Jo! Great to hear my blogs are appreciated. :) The Copper Canyon would be interesting for me as well, not only for the train ride, but for the ultramarathon with the Tarahumara peope who live there. Would love to accomplish that one day. Mexico is definitely a charming place, and even though I won't stay longer, I'll be back for more. Cheers, Jens

Another great blog
We always know we are in for a good read when we see your blogs on the front page. Mexico is one of our favorite countries. We want to do the Copper Canyon Train in the not so distant future. I'm glad you always include a bit of history along with your impressions. Seems as if Mexico has charmed you......and maybe you should stay. When you find a place that fits you should stay longer than expected.

Thanks!
Cheers for commenting, Rachel! I'm glad you got to experience and appreciate the beauty of Guanajuato yourself. Who wouldn't want to live there?

Love the photos
Guanajuato was one of my favourite places in Mexico so your blog brought back some very happy memories. I was tempted to stay myself....

Revolutionary roads
Thanks Dave! Maybe the persistent sun plays her part in making me a tad drowsy and delirious, haha! Cheers, Jens

Basílica Colegiata de Nuestra Señora de Guanajuato

Colourful history
Gracias, Tara! The food here is fantastic and a lot more varied than I expected. I would have loved to spend more time hiking the mountains around Guanajuato, it's a lovely town.

I'm a bit of a stickler to grammar and punctuation rules, so I couldn't bring myself to miss an accent. ;)

Great colors with a dash of history!
How wise to climb that hill for a sip of silence in Guanajuato, one of my favorite cities! Love your historical context and appreciation of this great country, not to mention those huevos rancheros--how I miss Mexican food! Buen viaje, amigo!

I love the fact that you put the accent on the Spanish words; sometimes even when I write in Spanish I can't be bothered so, well done!

Vicariously...
Mexico has been on our short list for a while now, and I think we really have to get moving on making that a reality. Loving your blogs and the photos :)

Cheers!
Thanks, Tara! The beers are flowing readily here, and every day feels like an adventure. How did I avoid Mexico for that long?

It's hard sometimes
I know what you mean, mate. That's why vegetarian restaurants are that great -you can order anything on the menu without thinking twice. It's especially hard when you have to make yourself understood in a language you don't have a grasp of, and when the concept of vegetarianism is so alien they won't sympathise, as in Japan.

on being vegetarian
its tiring to have to explain to waiters what vegetarian means! and frustrating that i usually have to look for italian and indian restaurants wherever i go

Fab photos and adventures!
Great start to a wild holiday! Love Guadalajara, your incredible friends, this trail, the murals, the chilaquiles and the adventures. Keep downing those beers--your Spanish will soon be perfect. More adventures, please....

Gracias, Señor Hoe-say-veech!
I hope it will be as exciting as your Canadian trip, which I'm a little envious of, by the way. :)

Sounds like its gonna be an exciting trip!

Thanks for reading!
Thanks for the nice comment, Tara! Japan is so different in every aspect, making it a pleasure to explore and discover. Yeah, the vegetarian restaurants are great, but if you can convince people in regular restaurants to prepare a meat-free dish for you, it might even be more rewarding. It does require a lot of planning and language skills, though, plus the vegetarian restaurants are not to be found in smaller cities and in the countryside. Haha, yeah, there will be kimchi, a lot of it, in fact. Might take a while for me to write that blog, though, as I'm currently getting acquainted with México. Cheers, Jens

It is quite pleasant here
I'm barely scratching the surface this time. México is enormous and will warrant future, more detailed exploration. Cheers for reading and commenting! Jens

Great photos and perspectives!
You had me laughing at your wry comments and feeling so moved by your Hiroshima reflections! Good to hear there's yummy, affordable veggie food, even if you have to work to find it. And amazing that the sites were so crowded--I imagine they'd be impossible had the cherry trees been blossoming-yikes! So, now on to kim-chi, eh?
