Guanajuato

I spent the weekend traveling through the colonial town of Guanajuato with 5 girls. Guanajuato is famous for two reasons, it was site of the first battle for Mexican Independence. Second, the famous muralist, Diego Rivera, was born here. Besides the richness in Mexican history, Guanajuato is colorful city in the base of a valley. Also, because the colonial roads cannot handle the traffic of modern cars, a series of tunnels were built underneath the city. It reminded me of Venice without the canals. Something else to note, the man in the statue above was a war hero here in Mexico during the War of Independence. The person in the statue travelled through a tunnel and burned the Spanish strong-hold in the Guanajuato.
