7:00am Thursday morning, 40 minute, hike to the bus stop--2nd Class bus 100km to Guanajuato.

Three (3) people on board, how do they pay for the gas--15 stops over the next 10km and we were full, and going to keep stopping-tie them to the roof I guess--then all of a sudden almost everyone got off -in the middle of nowhere?

45 minutes of nothing but plains, expecting Eli Wallach or Lee VanClief to ride up on their horses anytime.

Over a mountain, around a corner, into a valley, and all of a sudden there it was--looking like 'all' 5 Cinque Terre towns were bundled up and brought over from Italy, built on the sides of the mountains. Absolutely beautiful--spent the day wondering the small, hilly, and winding streets until time to go back to the bus terminal.

The ride home was first Class-$2.00 more--included a drink, treat, and a movie (problem being the movie was longer than the 1 1/4 ride home--go figure.

Beat up we showered and off to bed, getting some rest before tommorow's (Fridays Cinco de Mayo festival--more fireworks?)

Adios.

From the Kenduskeag Stream to the warm sun of Mexico. All I can say is: que bueno.

My best to you and your wife on your vacation in Mexico. Love your blog insights and the photos.
Truly, you are the SunGod!

Are you frightening the locals down in ol' Mexico with your untanned Novia Scotian white legs? Que lastima. But don't feel bad.
I did some spring lawn work here in Maine today....in my shorts. My neighbors were no doubt blinded by the light, eh.

Buenos noches,

Miguel Alden
