Guanajuato March 2010 (In review)
-
Like clock work each Spring Break season, the US media focuses on Mexico drug violence. Our hardworking friends in Mexico both American and Mexican hope’s that tourism would increase this season will suffer yet again. Yes, there’s violence to report on with cartel infighting but beyond these bad guys lies a wonderful peaceful, friendly Mexican culture that we love and feel at home in. We see the harm bad news reports cause to tourist’s will to visit Mexico. We also see struggling friends like Luis and Gabby who own a Gallery in Penasco who had to pawn their car to keep their business alive in this slow economy (support them if you can ). Personally, we feel safer traveling in Mexico than many places in the US. Alert traveling is always our rule. That being said….
Last year our friend Heather Heffernan spent 3 months in Guanajuato studying Spanish.

Guanajuato is in the mountains north of Mexico City in a very historic area of Mexico. After hearing Heather’s report on the beauty & history of the area, Frankie and I will join Brain & Heather and Mike & Gill, from the Cholla hood, on Heather’s reunion to Guanajuato. We will also plan to visit San Miguel, Guadalajara and a final bash in the town of “Tequila”. We meet in Mexicali (near Yuma) on Tuesday night and fly Wed to Leon and drive on to Guanajuato. Apartments in Guanajuato will be our home base until we head for Tequila the following Monday. Finally, we fly back to Mexicali on Wed the 24th from Guadalajara.
