Woke up in this beautiful city, it’s so vibrant and relaxed. We went for a walk to these beautiful Cathedrals; it’s so wonderful to see proper churches again. The Jacaranda trees made me feel like a home away from home, so nice.

After chilling in the Hostel with some nice locals we went to the bar to meet Oscar. Another couchsurfer got hold of us and invited us for a drink at his place. There was another couchsurfer – the crazy Chinaman!! He’s Chi, and bicycled from New York City to San Diego, to Tijuana and is currently in Guadalajara. He’s fantastic, so funny and what a great guy. Argentina is his destination – all through the power of cycling and sleeping in parks along the way. Way to go Chi!

Makako took us out, again, to Zapopan – a beautiful artistic area in downtown Guadalajara. It’s great, there are statues and murals everywhere, juxtaposed between Cathedrals and other interesting sights. At the bar Makako got a true Mexican drink
Bandera (flag): shot of lime, tequila and tomato juice – the Green White and Red representing the Mexican flag. Delicious!

We chatted with some locals, and just enjoyed the vibe of the city. Every single pub/bar/restaurant had live music, full of Mariachi, live bands and everyone is dancing. Salsa really is the flavour here, and every car, house, shop etc. has blaring Latino music, I love it, it’s fantastic!
