Hike to Pipila!

 For Friday's walk, we climbed up the hillside steps to the statue of Pipila.  The winding alleyways hid residences behind massive wooden doors and flower-laden balconies.   It was a great hike!  The view of the city below was breath-taking!  Anticipating an evening at the symphony in Teatro Principal, we prepared for a late night with an afternoon siesta.  The three pieces performed by the University of Guanajuato Symphony was presented on Mexican terms - relaxed and casual - a blend of Gershwin and Latin classical.  Very enjoyable!

A secret pathway!

After a post-hike nap in the afternoon, we attended a concert at Teatro Principal in the evening.
A nice conclusion
