Last Days in Guadalajara

---

So the stress is over! We had exams yesterday (Thursday)...not sure what my "notas" are, but I will soon find out. We are trying to "live it up" our last couple of days in Guadalajara...after exams, we took a long siesta and then headed out to the clubs!

The scene last night was similar to east Atlanta...alternative-ish...lots of music lovers, etc. We went to Wingston's, a place that only sells hot wings and beer, then to a club on top of a roof of a building, then to a bar called Bali Bar. Bali Bar had this amazing cover band...a girl and a guy singer...they could sing ANYTHING...Queen, Reggaeton music, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and on and on...Crystal and I especially loved the band...they'd alternate a few songs of the band and then discotheque music. We stayed there until 3:00A and took a taxi home.

I've realized how incredibly important staying in a country for an extended amount of time really is...We haven't been "tourists" in Guadalajara, we've lived here...we've tasted the food locals eat and shopped where locals shop and taken public transit like locals and hung out with the local young crowd. I feel as though I "know" Guadalajara...not just that I've "visited".

Sunday morning at 10A we leave via air for Mexico City! I can't wait to experience 20 million people in 500 sq. miles...
