The past few days have been wonderful in Guanajuato. It would be great if I had more time here. This is a place I plan to return to again. There is so much to see and do in this incredible city. It's like nothing I've ever seen before. The city is located in a valley surrounded by mountains. Hills are dotted with houses built close together. Almost all of the streets are too narrow to drive on. The cars drive in tunnels underground. It felt as if I was walking through a cave when I walked through the tunnels. There were people waiting for the bus in dark, humid tunnels filled with exhaust. What a cool city. You should definitely visit Guanajuato and take a walking musical tour with the 'Callejoneadas' if you're in the area. Here's a video I took of one of the groups' walks. I loved it! Eduardo, the group leader, can serenade me at any time.
If you're in Guanojato and you'd really like to see something unique (and morbid) visit the mummy museum. But keep in mind it's not for the faint of heart. The mummies freaked me out because most of them looked like they died while being tortured. They actually died in the 1800's of Cholera, but there are stories that some of them were buried alive. The thought of that and visions of them screaming kept me up all night. As someone who can't handle watching horror movies I should of known better than to go there. Remind me not to do that again and remind me to tell my kids I'd like to be cremated! Eeek
