Our last weekend in Guanajuato
Today we woke up, had some breakfast with the family, and then headed into town. Once there we bought our bus tickets to Uruapan at the travel agency in the center of town so we are all set to leave on tomorrow morning.
After some coffee we started the arduous task of uploading the photos from the last 2 weeks. Unfortunately, we had so many pictures that we didn’t have time to get them all up. At 4:00 we headed back up to the house and on the way bought some flowers for Claudia for her despedida which was scheduled for tonight. Shortly after we were back at the house Ulysses swung by to pick us and Ryan up and we all headed over to see the church where they are going to be married next week.
The Templo La Valenciana was magnificent and is one of the oldest churches in Mexico. We also swung by the mine where they are going to have the reception about a half mile away. It was a gorgeous place as well.
Afterwards we headed over to Ulysses (and soon to be Claudia’s) home. It’s a great place with an incredible view of the city. Some friends and the sisters arrived a bit later and we all had fun watching soccer, listening to music, playing some card games, and drinking some beer. Before we left Ulysses gave us a CD with a ton of salsa music on it. This made Em’s day as now we can continue practicing what we learned in classes this last week. We’ll see how long it lasts. We also decided to head back for their wedding next week. They are both so nice and really want us to come if we can make it, so next Saturday we’ll be back in Guanajuato. We’re both really looking forward to it.
Now we’re off to bed and tomorrow it’s off to Uruapan.
