During my walk to the train station.
Only freight trains here!


Just trying to be artistic.

Sunset taken from the neighbourhood of my second apartment.

The food court at the Tuesday market.

Coming back from working with my tutor, heading towards Centro.

Stations of the Cross on Good Friday.

This street was deserted except when I crossed the bridge.

Sunset taken from Plaza Civica.

Sunset from the edge of town.

Exploring the roads behind my first apartment.

Walking on the farm roads past the train station.

A museum on the Queretero tour.

Getting ready for the rodeo.

Selling food in Guanajuato.

Guanajuato has mostly pedestrian streets.

The university at Guanajuato, a city built in a valley.

This was my favorite place to get gorditas for a dollar. Gorditas are like a stuffed pita sandwich made with corn.

This was the first place I went to when I ventured into eating local food.

Families having fun at the event in the Botanical Garden for the February eclipse of the moon.

A farm on the walk behind the train station.

You can find good shirts here for two dollars if the bargain hunters don't knock you over!

Cesar, our tour guide in Guanajuato and Queretero.

This makes you wonder what's in the pot.

Older men would come on the bus, play a few classic Spanish songs, and collect a few pesos.

Another artistic shot, behind my first apartment.

Plaza Civica, a hangout for the locals.

The parade in January on Independence Day.

Local teenagers spend a lot of time playing basketball and soccer.
