We are back in Garden Bay after a three day journey spending nights in Mexico City, Calgary because we missed the connecting flight, and Coquitlam where we stayed with friends.\u00a0 I am happy to be home.<\/p>\n

We took the bus from Guanajuato to Mexico City for convenience and to see a few sights there.<\/p>\n

The highlight for Aime\u00e9 was a visit to the Basilica de Guadalupe.\u00a0 It’s a beautiful sanctuary that merited more photos but my phone ran out of power.<\/p>\n

The highlight for me was a visit to Plaza Garibaldi<\/a> which was the name of the bar in my favourite telenovela “La Hija del Mariachi”.\u00a0 We visited early morning which was fortunate because the neighbourhood was seedy and possibly dangerous at night.\u00a0 The plaza is nothing special but the night life is probably very interesting.\u00a0 Must figure out how to visit safely.<\/p>\n
