Downtown Guadalajara

Yesterday my friend Diego showed me downtown. It is very old and very interesting. Again, I forgot my camera, but I am sure I'll be back many times before I leave. He showed me a Mexican sushi place, where two drinks and a roll of sushi was about $5. It was funny; the soy sauce had onions, cilantro and jalapenos in it but the sushi was practically identical to what you'd find in the U.S. (not quite as good). We also had something off the street that looked and tasted like a potato, but really white and soft, and with the lime juice and the hot sauce, very spicy. There are many, many plazas downtown, some with fountains, one with a "tianguis" (the flea market), but Diego said it was a "mega" tianguis, because it was three stories tall. As I got in my car, it started to pour down rain, for maybe 20 minutes. It surprised me because this is the dry season but it didn't last long.
