A Thanksgiving Trip to Mexico
For this past holiday, my girlfriend and I went to Guanajuato Mexico for her friend's wedding. I have never been there but have heard many great things about the city. It's supposedly very beautiful and without all the craziness you see in Mexico City. Well part of that was true. It doesn't have many if any stop lights, but it does have a lot of narrow streets with roundabouts. Driving around in the taxi is a little nerve racking like Mexico City but without all the traffic jams! I'm sure glad I didn't have to drive there. Streets were super narrow and very hilly!! Krystal's college friend Suzanna and her fiance Ricky were getting married in a church high on the hills over looking the city. It was really gorgeous!! We met many of their friends at the hotel we were staying at and hung out with everyone while we took a walking tour of the city. I am a huge fan of street food and was set on getting my fill of true authentic mexican tacos, straight from the street carts. Those are like 8 pesos each and are delish!! I think we stopped at something like 10 taco stands during our visit!! The architecture around the city and the buildings are really gorgeous! I thoroughly loved all the beautiful colors and how all the buildings are built so close together that it created very narrow alleys between each building. All the streets were curved and so if you walked down some alleyway, it was super easy to get disoriented and thoroughly lost!! That happened more than once. Luckily we had many spanish speakers in our crew!!
The weather was absolutely perfect the whole time we were there!! It got up the high 70's during the day while we were walking around and then dropped to high 40's in the evening!! A light jacket was perfect for an evening out on the town!! I met some really awesome new friends that I would love to hang out with again!! It was such a great weekend among fun people and of course, a beautiful wedding. I really loved this trip with my girlfriend and would love to come back there again someday!!
