blog york city.: July 2010

Here are some pictures that I took while in Mexico, in case you were interested.

I met Alena at the aeropuerto and we got on an autobus and rode it all the way to Guanajuato.

When we arrived in Guanajuato, Alena called her aunt.

Their house was great. This is where we slept.

The next day we explored the city. First stop, a museum with lots of mini things.

and art.

This is the University.

We proceeded to the birthplace of Diego Rivera.

I was into this light fixture.

Alena stopped to buy some coconut.

Guanajuato is a beautiful little city.

If you are easily frightened, you might not want to go on. Scroll down at your own risk!

El museo de las momias! Soooo a long time ago, the city of Guanajuato decided to tax people who had family members buried in the cemetery. They dug up the people whose families couldn't afford it and discovered that they had been naturally mummified! It's kind of weird/sad/interesting.

This baby still had its eyelashes!

La momia mas pequena del mundo!

Then we did one of these.

Serious street dog.

Catedral grande y viejo.

This mangy mutt followed us up to Alena's aunt and uncle's house.

They took us to an old hacienda and we enjoyed music from this great band. I loved it.

Then we went to a party!

We watched this intense flamenco dancer.

And enjoyed views of the city.

On our way home we stumbled upon these cute little singers.

The next day Alena and I walked to the edge of the city.

We ended up going to this creepy house.

This reminded me of Evil Dead 2.

Creepy.

More creepy.

Alena and her uncle Jeff.

Aunt Nina.

We said farewell and hopped on an overnight bus to Puerto Vallarta. We arrived at our hotel at 9:30 and weren't allowed in our room until 1:30, so we hung out at the breakfast buffet and drank champagne.
