Guadalajara
On December 26 I travelled with 5 women friends to Guadalajara for a bit of a sight seeing and shopping trip. Guadalajara is the second largest city in Mexico and although I have been to Mexico many many times I had never visited the city. It is the home of ranchero culture, mariachis, tequila, 20 some universities, Mexico's largest and most visible gay community, and over 4 million people. The Guggenheim foundation is currently building their sixth museum here and it is expected to be finished in 2010.
