Mexico - Guanajuato

On Sunday evening the Lopezjoneses, Abue, Mester, TiaIrma, TiaDalila and Kayla headed to the state capital, Guanajuato for a new nights.

Arriving at night they checked in and went out for dinner. Luckily a restaurant right off the city's main jardín was able to seat 9 people for a great meal.

 

The twins shared a room with Kayla. In the morning they opened a window and found to their surprise one of the many underground main roads ran under their room.

The next morning everyone gathered together for breakfast at the hotel. This was key to this trip. The last time the Medinas went to Guanaujauto Mester was not able to go and ever since she wanted to return and stay in a hotel that had breakfast. DaddyQuique found her a hotel right smack in the middle of all the sights and even found a lofted room with three beds for her to stay with her daughters.

That morning the Lopezjoneses headed out for a walk. And what a walk it was.

The area reminded them a little bit of Venice, Italy. It was all small walk ways, no map could have helped.

 

But they found their way up and up.

To a spectacular view of the city.

Later they walked even more to the mummy museum.

Naturally preserved mummies from the cemetery up top.

And in the cemetery they found a friend to play with.

After that they walked back to the town center to meet with DaddyQuique's cousin from Chicago who also happened to be in Mexico and just happened to be touring Guanajuato as well. The twins have now started to order on their own and without asking their go to drink is a piñada, basically a piña colada without alcohol.

For the evening the Lopezjoneses and Kayla were on their own for dinner. They found a really nice square, one of many, to stop in and have a drink while the twins played.

The squares are the playground for the local children and these two.

Another breakfast at the hotel, but this time it was time to return to Moroleon.

There was not a convenient direct stop, so they had to stop in on of the other big cities in the state. Thank goodness Kayla was there to keep the twins occupied.

Oh and also there was more gazpacho.
