One of my favorite walls in Guanajuato. It is a very colourful city.

This is what the pedestian alleys look like. They are very picturesque and charming. Colourful wals and planters cheer everyone up. The tunnel at the right is one of many that run under the city. They are old mining tunnels that have been made into roads. In this way, the cars dun beneath the city, and the people walk uabove. It's a very sensible and aesthetic arangement Guanajuato is also home to Diego Rivera's birthplace, now a museum, a Mummy Museum, an active silver mine, a market, an early 20th century opera house, the second best one in Mexico, open for tours year round, and open for shows during the Cervantes festival in the fall, and a magic festival in the spring. The city feels more open to me that San Miguel, the streets are wider downtown, and there are more squares for hanging out in. Also, the streets are paved with flat sones rather than the cobbles of San Miguel, making walking easier, but it is very hilly!
I'd like to come back and spend more time here, maybe do some Spanish immersion here. There are few Americans living here, as compared to San Miguel, and the city has a completely different feel to it.
