Weekend trip to Guadalajara

---

Bienvenida a Guadalajara, home of Tequila, Mariachi and Chivas! We arrived here after a painful bus journey from Puerto Vallarta. The bus itself was very comfortable but the road was very twisty and we got stuck in traffic for a large part of the journey. After four feature length movies we were still nowhere near Guadalajara! After checking in late to our hotel we grabbed some food in the hotel where I ended up having a conversation with a drunk Chivas fan, who was in town to see the classico, Chivas Guadalajara v Club America (the biggest match in the Mexican football season). He was boasting about his teams unique recruitment policy (Chivas only play Mexican nationals). However, as I pointed out Athletic Bilbao also apply this policy (in this case only Basque players are eligible to play) Think he was impressed by my knowledge as it seemed to sober him up! After this we hit the first bar we could find and stayed there sampling some local tequila. The infamous Guadalajara belly limited activities the next day (no, nothing to do with the tequila!) but had a good walk round the centro historico and took a bus tour (which had regular stops for beers!) We were unable to get tickets fro the big match on the Sunday so decided to head back to Puerto Vallarta and watched the match there. The executive decision was to fly back which took 35 mins compared with 6.5 hours on the bus!

Talk to Y'all soon
