The last two days in Guadalajara were not good. Did not enjoy the big city, second largest in Mexico, and the hostel I chose was not the best. The woman who ran it was great and I was the only gringo there. It was not very clean and everyone smoked in the room which I found foul. The last day I was there I had planned to go to Tequila but it rained and I couldn't go to the agave fields although I saw them from the bus which was nice. I did not get the best vibes from some of the other people staying there as well. So I moved on to Guanajuato and met an eccentric Argentinian women who I hung out with for a few days. We shared the nicest room in a hotel which was decorated with Angels of all sorts. 23$ each for a nice huge room with a super tall wooden ceiling. I have some great pictures which I will try and upload as soon as I find a terminal that accepts and sd card. My micro sd is full now so I can't upload from my phone until I buy another. I went to this museum full of mummies and it was rather macabre. they were not that old, about 100 years and basically the soil they were buried in was what mummified them. The smallest mummy in the world is there. Other than that went to museums and to a nice place called the Presa de Olla, which is a dam a little way outside the city. At this point I am glad to be back in DF, Mexico city, having tired of moving around and being alone. Am looking forward to the meditation retreat and getting farther south closer to the beach. I think I'm going to do some language classes there as I neEd to devote some time to improving and I want to put down some roots to feel less isolated. Overall, I'm glad I came although there were some serious emotional trials with The isolation and language barrier. i definitely feel more self condfident at this point. Will post some new pics.
