Guanajuato |

We arrived fairly late in Guantajuato and found a nice place to stay. The following morning we went on a full tour of the city including visiting the strangest museum which had about 119 mummies on display most of which had died in the early 1900's and then were dug up again to put on display here! We then went to another mine which was really interesting in a little place called La Valenciana. Afterwards we returned to Guanajuato centre to the Mercado Hidalgo, the Callejon del Beso, the University, an amazing theatre, and finally we took the funicular up to a hillside monument for a fantastic view of the most romantic city. |
