October 23rd (dia veintitres) - Enjoying Guadalajara
Slept and rested at last, the stress of the road is washed away with soap in the shower and BMW is not far away, at last I am tranquilo.
Off to the centro to get a look at this city, the second largest city in Mexico, we are amazed by how colonial it still is, much like San Luis Potosi, and as promised by many -- complete with the most beautiful women in Mexico.
Relaxing and enjoying the day, I couldn't help but notice that there were kids everywhere! A big difference than back in North America, kids here are very loved and very playful, they are allowed to be kids. Back home, many don't even want kids - they are considered more of a chore - but they do bring such life to the city and people here!
Also, everything contains beef (carne) of some sort. I can't recall having ever eaten so much meat before in my life. Eggs and meat every breakfast, as there are not too many other options, carne asadas are everywhere for dinner. Not that we're not enjoying it, but it's just a huge difference on our diets, and everything is eaten out of corn totillas.
During the evening we were fortunate enough to catch a live dance competition in the town square and enjoyed some ice cream, a luxury I haven't had in quite some time.
