More From Guanajato

Here are a few more pictures from Guanajuato.

A 3 day sidewalk art festival was just getting underway. There were probably up to 100 entries each with thier asigned side walk space. By evening the pieces were not yet finished. They would all be covered and continued the next day. This photo is of some drawings underway on the side walk in front of Teato Juares.

Our cultural evening of dance was very enjoyable. The theatre is a phenominal building on its own. All the seating is rush seating and we ended up with 2 seats in a box to the left of the stage. This is a photo of the theatre from our seat. The box railing worked well to steady the camera since a flash was not allowed.

The dances where performed by members of the University of Guanajato Ballet. It was a variety of dances from different area of Mexico. Below are a couple of shots taken from our seats.

After the concert we met up with our Canadian acquaintances Gary, Bob and Sherry at a nearby restaurant. Unlike in Fernie, the restaurant was busy at 10:30 and people were waiting to get in to dine. After a glass of wine we walked back to our hotel. On the way we passed by the little bridge cafe. I couldn't resist a photo of the young couple dining on the bridge.

Yesterday we rode back though Gualajara to Tequila. We just about froze to death! Even with the heated liners and all the layers we could fit under our riding jackets. The temperature was only about 9C when we left guanajato and there was a strong wind. We had to stop a few times to warm up. By the time we got to Guadajaha the temperature was comfortable but only about 20C.

Tequila is a nice town. We met a fellow last night that has moved here from Canada and has written a book about the area. After talking to him we decided to stay another day and learn more about tequila, both town and the liquor. More on that tommorow.
