Guanajuato

Shlomit and I decided to trade turkey for enchiladas mineras and spent the full Thanksgiving week in the state of Guanajuato, México.

We visited:

  • Guanajuato: the famous mummies, the Alhóndiga de Granaditas, Callejoneada, etc.
  • León: A large industrial town, known for their quality (and affordable) leather products. Yeah, we went leather jacket shopping!
  • Dolores Hidalgo: The cradle of the Independence.
  • San Miguel de Allende: A lovely colonial town now overrun by retired gringos and their pooping dogs.
  • Atotonilco: A nice church surrounded by four or five tiny houses. Home of the “Mexican Sistine Chappel”
  • And last, some photos from Karina’s wedding.

As usual, a bunch of innocent and non-compromising photographs have been posted to The MKX® Photo Central.

Oh, and three videos:
