Guanajuato 8

I never get enough of hiking in the hills around Guanajuato, by myself and in company.  It's always busy in town and being located in a steep-sided valley means that the action and crowds are focused at the bottom and, while I love the vibrancy, it's such a nice contrast to get up into the the quiet and wide open vistas of the hills. 

A hike to the Bufa with new friend, Martin, from Buenos Aires.  Yes, as our attire attests, it was cold.

Another hike to the Bufa with Dale, another recent convert to Guanajuato.  A much warmer day.

In this arid landscape, splashes of colour are eye catching.

Quinceanera celebration, a girl's coming out party at her 15th birthday.  Dad spends big.

Part of a mural, the caption loosely translated, "They came to sack and exploit, first the Spanish, then the Canadians".  A comment directed at Canadian mining companies.

A cliffhanger
