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.

| 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....

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.

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.

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.

What does it mean when the horse in a statue has two feet off the ground? One? Three? Ok, I'll save the joke...four means the horse died in battle.
Francisco Villa was yet another that really got screwed by the US when they backed his rival, Carranza, btw. I'd also change my name too if it were, by birth, "Doroteo." Not very manly. |

Unfortunately the news tends to exaggerate. It's really not that dangerous as long as you don't visit the cities where the violence is at its highest. It's indeed sad, since the people are so nice. As long as you keep a firm hand on your belongings you should be fine. The ability to speak good Spanish is also a big plus.

Here's another revolutionary, whose name was Pánfilo Natera. He helped Pancho Villa take over the (then) town of Zacatecas from the Federalists (rich European leaders/dictators who oppressed the poor). Later on he became the governor of the state.
And here's the other revolutionary, Felipe Ángeles, who also involved in the Battle of Zacatecas.
Here's all three them! Or at least, an attempt to get all three of them into one pic.

It is Doroteo Arango aka. "Pancho Villa." Sits in Zacatecas as he was the leader of the División del Norte (vs. Emiliano Zapata who came from the south).

Ron, to answer your question I wish you could hear the vid of me hoofing it up the peak I show in that last shot. YES, all you can hear in the minute vid I shot is me gasping for air while making that last climb in full gear. Probably could have heard my heart thumping as well were it not so windy.

Great Pics Ron! Bev looks pretty with her sunglasses on heading out to the highway! :) I must admit, I've never seen Lake Mich at this time of year! Burr, hard to believe in a short while people will be out in bathing suits, and swiming in it! Now I know why it has such cold pockets of water in it!
Looks like a outstanding trip, full of the things to do! So sad it's already over! Seems like it just started. How time flys when your having fun. Looks like a Great Trip!

Great pictures Ron!!! Looks like you and Bev are having a great time. Your grandson is adorable! I'm sure you spent as much time as possible spoiling him rotten because that's a grandparents privilege  |
