Saturday in Guanajuato, Art & the Arts
Mike, Gill, Frankie and I decided to return to a art bazaar between San Miguel and Dolores Hidalgo to buy some interesting items we spotted yesterday giving Brian & Heather the morning alone.
Mike negotiating with the Sheriff about purchasing some art at the bazaar.

Here’s a sample of work painted by a local family artist. Mike and Gill bought the lady on the left and Frankie and I bought the lady on the right. All total we purchased over 15 great bargins to be shipped to Penasco. Fun stuff..!
A small portion of the bazaar.
Country restaurant on our way back to Guanajuato where we were served home cooked meal. Mom kepted bring out more food to put on our plates. So full, so good.

Back in Guanajuato and off to the ballet. Baja Norte dancing… hence the hats they gave us at the door.

Beautiful theater, spectacular dance from a company of at least 60 dancers.

Dinner at a cafe on a bridge near the main plaza (center). Walkway below us (left). Steep street above us (right).

Street food, and steps to the tunnels below the city.
The basilica beautifully lighted and cafes in the foreground on our walk home.
Finally back to the 4th story terrace above our apartments for a final nightcap.
Another great day of our adventure to Guanajuato. Can’t wait to see what Heather has planned for tomorrow. Until the next update.
