soon to leave guanajuato....

hola amigos.....jim and carol here at the local internet cafe.....only about 10 pm...
things are definitely hopping in guanajuato. cervantino just started last nite, and they are putting up rather fancy looking sound stages in many spots that we once strolled lazily thru. the cafes plan to be open till 2 am very soon. we only saw part of the opening ceremony last nite, over the heads of people packing the street by the alhondiga, and that was on a large screen. very well and hi tech productions it seems. we almost went and bought tix to a show for tonite, but realized we were too tired to appreciate it, after a late party at rozes house last nite.

there is so much culture here. jim is very impressed. there is the modern art,the singing in the streets, the artisans selling everywhere, the ancient culture which crops up everywhere. so many layers. and we are only seeing some of it.

roze has some wonderful room mates, well, friends. they have so much fun. one gal from oregon, one from norway, one from mexico, and two guys from mexico. all speak spanish together. they are all lovely people. some of them did a photo shoot with us the other day wearing hats.

tomorrow am we leave here and take the bus to guadalajara. we go first class, on a bus that gives you snacks and has movies like an airplane. whoa! one nite there with our friend miguel from talent, and then on to the beach in nayarit......we will fly home on tuesday nite.
