Yay! I arrived in Guadalajara on Thursday evening. I didn't do much that nite, except meet Mary, from Australia, who will be taking the course at ITTO with me. We've gone out exploring a bit the last couple days, and I finally remembered to take some photos today. The first one is of the Horchata I had to drink with my Torta tonite at dinner. The second is a gazebo in a square we walked through, and the third is a view from near the big Mercado San Juan de Dios, where we went. It's a big market full of stalls with tonnes of things, like leather goods, fruit, breads, notebooks (that's what I bought!), pretty much anything you'd need.
Tomorrow morning a large street right near the hostel is closed to cars until 2pm, and people ride their bikes, skateboards, etc., down the middle of the street. Mary and I are going to check it out. And, tomorrow nite we're hopefully going to Lucha Libre!!!! Yay, Mexican Wrestling!!! I'm verrrry excited!
So, yeah, it's all good here. The weather's awesome, the people are nice, and my minimal Spanish is getting me by, along with a lot of hand gestures.
