Returning to Guanajanto!

After we finished up our tour we headed back to Guanajanto!


I think it is a little gross to see this stuff being sold on the sidewalks! It just doesn't seem sanitary!


Pop Pop was oblivious to Stephen blowing him kisses in the car! Noni and I were cracking up and Pop Pop was carrying on a conversation with the driver in Spanish!


The mountains were soooo pretty!



I liked this hotel entrance.
It is sometimes hard to get good pictures in a moving car!


I love all of the bridges, statues, and sights in Mexico!


Both Alyssa and Stephen Completed their Spanish courses!

It was nice that they each got a certificate!

Check out this dog bone!!!
I was shocked at the size!

That night Stephen and I headed to the town center and look what was going on....a dancing competition!

I love how this theater looks at night!

Don Quixote


I thought this cop looked really happy. LOL









This bridge has an interesting history:
It is a small colonial bridge in the downtown area with a curious history, it is probably one of the few bridges in the world that was built with the single purpose of being a way to enter a house. The house used to be on street level, but this street was lowered twice in order to allow carriages to drive on the road, as a result the house resulted to be located several meters over the street and it became impossible to reach the door. In order to correct this the bridge was built. The name was given because during the XIX Century a bell ringer (campanero) inhabited the place and he have the work of giving advice everytime a carriage was going to use the road.
As all the downtown of Guanajuato the zone is very nice, and the bridge is now used as a very small cofee shop.
I found this info here...
