Weekend Revelry

The "thump-thump" of weekend fiesta rhythms - so much a part of the Latin lifestyle -  prevailed relentlessly throughout Friday and Saturday nights.  Ear plugs did nothing to stop the continuous invasion of the chest-vibrating reverberations.  Finally, just before dawn, blessed silence blanketed the remnants of the night.  Rest was short-lived however, as the insistent, early morning tolling of the cathedral bells called the faithful to mass.  It is now 11:30 Sunday morning and the citizens of Guanajuato are slowly emerging and my irritated reaction in the darkness has been tempered by strong coffee and a good breakfast.

But enough about gringa complaints!  How about a view of some more of the city!
