Looks like the moto trip to Tennessee is on hold, rock slides on the Dragon(US 129/SR115) have the road closed for what looks like months to come!!

Wonderful pics Vail! Wow, I don't know much about Mexico, but it certainly isn't all deserts and cacti like it's sometimes protrayed.

Later that day we went to the zoo!! I kid you not. The Guadalajara Zoo is awesome!! It sure ain't your everyday petting zoo. Huge and with a wide variety of animals.

| Even better....I got my riding mower stuck on a slippery slope landing it in the ravine that runs between my house and the neighbor. I managed to push it out. Were it to fall into a canyon, it would have been taken a helicopter to have removed the wreck. |

Glad you liked them, Ronny! Yeah, the weather was incredible!! The weather in Zacatecas was almost like the weather in CA!! Guadalajara was much hotter, but still better than summer temps.

Ho! Come to MY house!
A ravine is small. Typically overflows into a flood-plain. A canyon is BIG!! Like in her picture. GRAND CANYON, for example?
Wasn't called a Grand Ravine, after all....

Here's a great soda that I had while in Guadalajara. Sagría Casera. Mmmmmm.

Tomato juice is nasty. Until I find my happy alcoholic drink, I'll stick with sodas.
Here's such a bottle. Manzana Lift. Best apple soda ever!! Oh! And best restaurant in the capital of Zacatecas. Gorditas Doña Julia.

Most call that "paloma" or "coscorrón" (paloma being the most common).
Better than "bandera," I say. Can't stand sangrita. Not a big fan of anything with tomato juice.

Blanco is made in a bathtub! Bleah is right. Stick with añejo or reposado.
Huete had a big part in the Guerra cristera. Beautiful shots! <==no pun intended.

Have a tequila ice cream at the Catedral? It is known for it and is better than it sounds.

Thanks Beckies. I still haven't shown the ones from our stay in Jalisco! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's the Cathedral of Guadalajara. So big it was hard to take a pic of the whole thing!
Here's a view of it from near the plaza.
The palace of the government.
The Degollado Theatre. We didn't see a performance, just the auditorium. Still cool, though.

Here's the Teleferico, which, according to wikipedia, is an airtram. It takes you from Cerro del Grillo to Cerro de la Bufa (both are hills). You get a very nice aerial view of the capital as you go from one place to another. The day my mom and I got on was windy, so it was swinging quite a bit. A tad scary, but worth it.
Some pics of the capital from the air (as we were dangerously swinging in the wind...heheh).
The JP dogtag and razorblade hanging out. 
And here's a view of the city from the top of the hill. Notice that gigantic cathedral between the rock and the cacti. My mom and I got to lodge across the street from it during the three days we were there. Right next to it is the Palacio del gobierno (government palace). On the day that we visited the hill there was a protest organized by a big group of miners (mining is very big for the state). We got to hear their chanting from the hotel for most of the afternoon when we got back.
