Guadalajara & Tequila |
|
|
|
We arrived fairly early in the morning in Guadalajara, found a decent place to stay and then headed out to wander around the city. The centre was very impressive with several squares surrounding the Cathedral. The following morning we got a bus to Tequila to visit a distillery. Somehow we made it through the tasting part of the tour even though neither of us like tequila! |

Due to torrential rain and flooded streets we jumped on the Tequila Tour Bus! |
