The longest journey begins with a single step...

You have at least two readers on the shores of Georgian Bay. Gerry McGregor, my brother-in-law who lives in nearby Thornbury, was on the Rotary curling excursion in Scotland with Norm sent me the link. My wife Judith and I will be heading for Mexico in Feb. I am very interested in your interestingly assembled adventure-blog and will follow you as you unravel the multi-facets of Latin America's very complex culture. In what part of Guanajuato are you living? We studied in Gto some years ago & loved it. Have you discovered Truco 7 yet? ....if it still exists. It was a wonderful restaurant near the cathedral below the U of G. I was a Spanish teacher and spent a year wandering Mx, middle America, and S. Am. I am impressed that you use ñ in your writing. We know Mexico very well. The adventure is in self-discovery of course (discovering yourself by yourself) but if there are any REALLY pressing questions I'm available to answer...idioma, cultura, geografía, yerga, gente, sitios, cualquier cosa.

Thanks for following Leo! Truco 7 is indeed still there, we had our first meal there by recommendation. We are on Caracol in Centro, just up from Templo San Francisco. We are a 5 minute walk (or less) from Teatro Juarez and Jardin de la Union. There always seems to be something going on nearby!

Great location! Sunday afternoon in front of the Teatro Juárez was (and maybe still is) an ongoing "espectacular". Have you run into the University medievally dressed "Tuna" as they sing there way through the streets---usually starting at twilight. You'll frequently pass the Quijote Iconographic Museum. Worth a visit (¡vale la pena!) My hostess in a private home near the baseball stadium is named Rosario Ramos. She was instrumental in the foundation of the museum. If you visit the museum ask if she still visits on occasion. She's a Guanajuato "Dama de Sociedad".
