Mexico Day 6 - The Touristy Non-Touristy Town of Guanajuato

Early on Wednesday morning, Diesel and I left early for the town of Guanajuato. Unlike the luxurious ETN bus, which transported us from Puerto Vallarta to Guadalajara, the bus to Guanajuato was not as nice.

The first bad sign was being greeted into the bus by blaring opera music (from La Boheme, more specifically). I'm all for classy opera, but for goodness sake, not in a old bus with stained seats and a nasty bathroom!

After a three hour ride, we arrived in Guanajuato, an old subterranean Mexican town nestled in the mountains of the Sierra de Guanajuato. Surprisingly the city resembles old European cities with its buildings and square, but upon a closer look, one can see that the resemblance stops there. Guanajuato is, in fact, very Mexican.

We rode the city bus (40 cents!) up the hill to the supposedly very interesting Mummy Museum. The museum is quite a let down, but we were in no hurry. The rest of the time was spent strolling around and eating on the streets.
