Guanajuato Revisited

We're HERE!  And it's RAINING and CHILLY!  Our first purchases were additional warm clothing and an umbrella from shops along Callejon Juarez. 
The flights were GREAT!  "Border Crossing" at the Guanajuato International Aeropuerto, not surprisingly, included a detailed search of baggage,which delayed our arrival into Guanajuato Centro.
The load was lightened just a touch (suspicious vitamins).   Nice to know that we are being well protected from terrorism! 
We were greeted by Dotty Ramirez, who welcomed us warmly and showed us around our accommodations.  The unit is comfortable, though lacking heat....but OH, the VIEW from the rooftop terrace!  An artist's paradise!  My artist mentor and friend Jude will be glad to know that I was able to purchase a watercolor palette at a local shop on the callejon!

We attendede a classical guitar concert yesterday afternoon at Casa Museo Gene Byron located in the village of Marfil, just outside Guanajuato - the first public performance for Jordan Daniel Tapp,  a 16 year old student.  VERY impressive!  Red wine and hors d'oeuvres followed the concert.  Lovely!
