¡Hola amigos! I'm writing once again from Monterrey, but I spent the past 3 days in Guadalajara, celebrating Mexican Independence Day. This entails the top local government official (mayor/governor) giving the grito "¡Viva Mexico!" It's an amazing thing, central plazas all over Mexico packed with people all celebrating independence on the same night... We got into GDL before noon, piled into a... Read Full Entry

umm

Walked past this disturbing out of order little boy fountain at least 4 times.

Fruit, juices, and fruit juices

More vendors

Balloons, cotton candy, toys. Yes, at times we felt like we were at a circus.

Hot wheels

Your kids can rent these cars. Then use them to run into the shins of strangers.

How does one elect this occupation?

As well as being said to be the "most Mexican city" in the "most Mexican state" (of Jalisco), Guadalajara is also home to the creepiest clowns on the planet.

Dunkin

We stumbled upon a Dunkin Donuts. The guys in the blue shirts are cops.

Rockstar

This guy was so cute. After a couple pesos, he was rocking out.

Mas iglesia

Another church, I'm not sure which one. Again, no flash, so it's pretty dark.

Checking out

Fountain

No tomes fotos!

Apparently you can't take pictures in airports. If you pull out a camera, guards pretty much swarm you. I don't know when that went into effect. This is the only picture I have of Mexico City (we laid over for about 30 minutes there). I hope to make it back to D.F. (Distrito Federal, a nickname for Ciudad de Mexico) someday before I leave this country.

Museo

A picture I took several weeks ago: this is where I work in Monterrey!

Sinfonía

Took this picture awhile back and forgot to post. I went to a concert several weeks ago with some friends called "Mucho Mozart" put on by the university symphony. Usually I'm not so into classical music, but it was really great chilling out and listening to some awesome Mozart on a Sunday evening.

Friday

A picture I'm borrowing from Ashley for this entry... As usual, waiting for the boys to get ready to go out. James playing his new ukelele, inspired by creepy babydoll/whistle woman.

Ladies

Ashley took this picture while we hit up the markets.

Haha
I think I almost peed my pants laughing about the hot wheels. I want a car that I can run into strangers with. Oh wait, I live in the US, we do that every day. I hope you are doing well my dear.
