Downtown Tlaquepaque... with photos!

Today I decided to check out downtown Tlaquepaque. I technically live in the Municipio (County) of Tlaquepaque but I'm not very close to downtown, which is how I took the "long" way to get there and got turned around coming back. But hey, when you price gasoline in liters, it doesn't seem like I am spending that much getting around.

Downtown is beautiful. I saw several stores that, when I am ready to buy nice things for myself and others before I leave, I will be shopping there first. It is a very art-oriented town, and there was a ceramic museum as well as many artists who have galleries. This was the first time I saw Americans, and I saw a lot of them. Kind of disappointing :).

Going out tonight - excited to check out "The Rusty Trombone."

Blurry picture, but this is typical traffic in Guadalajara. This was this evening.

I think this was associated with San Pedro Church. I couldn't go inside; there was a funeral occuring at the time.

I liked these doors.

San Pedro Church. I read it took about 150 years to complete.
