TLAQUEPAQUE

(Is a really aweome name of a town next to Guadalajara)

We left Guadalajara yesterday, when I first got there I didn´t like it, it is one of those typical huge citys; There are people everywhere, it just FEELS poluted, and everytime you cross the street you are litterally running for your life.
And of course the second we got there we started walking around the city. I wasn´t too happy about that, that, on top of the fact that it was just sinking in that I was in a whole different country, made me feel like I was breaking down, that happened in Venezuela too, it´s probably me getting adjusted to a different place.
I cheered up a little when we got some pineapple.

Guadalajara in the night is a terror, but I started to grow to like it in the day time. It could just be that it´s holliday time for Mexico, but there were clowns (not the bad kind) and magicians and comidians all over the street. Of course I couldn´t understand anything any of these people were saying, but it was still pretty great.

Dawn and I took a bus around the city (Andy didn´t come because he didn´t want to ride more buses) It was great, it was the only real touristy thing we´ve done, and I´m betting the only thing we will do.
There were headphones that translated what the people were saying about all the historic places and statues (There was even this market that they said sold curses. but on the way there I saw a comidian and forgot about going there.)

There was this great code of arms that I got a picture of (it had a chicken on it I think) and I´ll post a picture of it when I´m able to (There´s a bit of a problem of posting photos at the internet café we´re at, but andy is going to another)

After that we took a bus to Colima, I was really exited, not only is Colima a cool name that sounds like Colin, but it has live volcanos to hike up, who wouldn´t be excited to hike up a volcano that could still erupt? That would of made an awesome picture if it had erupted while we were on it (as long as we got away before the lava ate my camera).

Of course it turned out that we weren´t allowed to hike on the dead volcano, because you need a permit, and the live one no one was allowed to hike up, because it was "dddanngerrroouusss"
