Shopping in Guadalajara

We had a fantastic day of scouting out the furniture availability in Guadalajara today! Theexpo center was filled with furnishings in a half-yearly sale hosted by a local furniture business....We learned that most items we will need are easily delivered to Mazatlan and that there will be another sale in September. WooHoo! Good quality, availability and prices. And the BEST part of the afternoon was our stop at local rib and burger place that caters to hungry gringoes. Now, I usually opt for the grilled chicken breast sandwich when we stop forfast food in Oregon, but we all went for burger deluxes WITH fries. A taste of Los Estados Unidos!Guadalajara is the second largest city in Mexico, behind Mexico City. It appears to be very prosperous. We left the driving into centro to the taxi driver....worth the 100 pesos! ($10 US) The policia are notorious for La mordita (the BITE) . . . . not something we wanted to risk.
