It’s about time I update you guys. A lot has happened and rather fast hence the lack of communication. Forgive me. Also blogging just always seems a far more involved task than it actually is.

La Salida.

Senorita Williams was rather forced by circumstance to move on. To abandon our little British oasis on Juan de Dios Robledo and discover the world. Since she’s been gone (almost a month!?!?) contact with her has always left me smiling. She’s been doing the most wonderful things it would seem. I hope she’ll soon blog and enlighten us all as to her escapades.

Before she left we made a Guadalajara bucket list, there were many things we had let to experience in Jalisco and she only had a month to fit it all in! Here’s the list and the photographic proof that we achieved most:

Butterflies in Morelia

I don’t actually have any photos of the butterflies as my camera was rudely stolen by some Mexican Bandits. I shouldn’t really refer to it all blazé like, it was actually the most horrible thing. Anyway, here is a pic of the cathedral at Morelia. 

Chapala Lake

Ah, isn't she lovely.

Tequila

We finally did the tourist thing and got the Tequila Express. At 11am we borded the train to be greeted with Margaritas. Lovely they were too. Gosh they gave us a lot of tequila that day.

 These beauties are called banderas (flags), 3 shots of the colours of the mexican flag, The middle was tequila, the green was lemon and the red... no-one seemed sure.

Fancy lunch which Ellie and I just felt sorry for the poor waiters working outside in the terrible heat. Though that didn't stop us requesting they bring more margaritas tout suite!

That's where they make the magic happen. It smelt terrible. They let us try some of the tequila in the process, which was almost 90% alcohol. Rather hurt the throat that did. 

Eat Pozole


Sadly I can find no photographic evidence of our pozole exploits. It was strange a a bit tasty but I think neither Ells or I are likely to choose it again off a menu. 

Buy a Mexican Blanket!


You'll have to just believe us on this one too....
