Guanajuato was a welcome change from the chaos of Mexico City. Surrounded by mountains the town was beautiful with colonial buildings, friendly people and lots to see and do with the annual Cervantino Festival in full swing.
The only downside was the 100+ steep stairs to get to our hostel each day after a trip into town but the view from the terrace was incredible.
Ben discovered "jugo" jugs - huge jugs of fresh fruit juice for less than $2.00. You can see the excitement on his face : )
We spent our days enjoying the carnival atmosphere of the Festival & natural charm of the city. We managed to see a Cuban band perform on centre stage on our last night who were fantastic!
A cartoonist in training drew the most terrible portraits of us while in our favourite cafe - Truco 7 where you could eat like a king for less than $5 each including drinks. Ben couldn't walk, Elise couldn't talk and Lauren needed to throw up after the huge meals.
