Guadalajara: Post Travel Recap

First, I have to congratulate the Jacks on becoming district champs... sweet! First time in 25 years... not sweet. And brag that Luke made 4 threes in the game!!!! They're leaving tomorrow for state, and the first game is 9am Wednesday Morning. You can follow the tournament progression here.

Okay now that I officially have that stellar news out of the way, I can continue with the boring stuff. :) As you all know by now I went to Guadalajara this weekend! There were about ten of us who went and it was great- the historic downtown is beautiful, and there are lots of gorgeous old buildings scattered all over the city. Due to a sudden twist of fate, we even got to go to a soccer game- Arriba Atlas! With the help of my trusty Lonely Planet book, I continued my fame as guide book know-it-all, and we were satisfied, stuffed and safe all weekend.

Lesley and I ready to go root for Atlas!

The Stadium- notice our great $200 peso seats (that's about $14 USD)!

The endless agave fields of Jalisco.

Inside the Market in Guadalajara- here you can see three stories of food, clothes, shoes, leather goods, pirated cd's and dvd's, and souvenirs. Shoppers- bon apetit!

Lesley, Osvoldo and I outside of the Cathedral of Guadalajara. This was my favorite cathedral I've ever visited. Jay, Nicole and Whit- okay, I know what you're thinking- but really- it's beautiful! I'm sorry I didn't get a good pic of the inside, but you can try to google it!

My favorite of the four plazas that surround the cathedral.

The only drawback was that I started developing a cough on the way there, and it's still getting stronger. :( I'm so over being sick!
