Guadalajara, Jalisco

Allthough Guadalajara is Mexico’s second most populous municipality, we only had few hours for sightseeing. We spent the time in the central area. Very good organized, with a larga plaza reserved for pedestrians, while the traffic and parking goes bellow. Some Spanish style cathedrals, gardens and colonial streets complete the landscape.124 guada125 guada126 guada127 guada128 guada129 guada130 guada131 guada

Bobby

BobbyWhile we were stopped at a restaurant on the side of the road, another rider passed by. He saw our BMW heavily loaded and he turned back to say hello. His name is Bobby, from Tucson, AZ, and he is riding his ’09 Suzuki Boulevard 650 from his hometown to Patagonia and back. We rode together for a while but after Guadalajara we split, as our agenda was significantly different than his. Good luck, Bobby!

Jalisco

After Nayarit comes Jalisco. While riding East, we passed several agave (the plant used to make tequila) fields, in the vicinity of the town named Tequila. Also “Tequila” is called a nearby volcano, that produced this lunar landscape, probably during the last eruption, some 121 tequila jalisco120 tequila jalisco122 volcano jalisco200.000 years ago.
