We visited Guadalajara on the weekend to stay with Anna & Etienne, a great couple we were introduced to through Lauren and Maurice. Guadalajara is a big city with a relaxed, cultural and arty vibe, the weather was beautiful and we enjoyed a mini-holiday away from the madness of DF!
Here we tried the tastiest tacos 'al pastor' and mezcal tequilla (smokey & very strong!); explored the city center and had a tour of Orozco's frescos (prolific & famous Mexican painter); visited great markets and little cafes including Anna & Etienne's and were taken to an amigos roof-top birthday party.
On Sunday we exercised it off by cycling around the city. The main roads are closed off for cyclists, fitness fanatics, families and their pooches. What a brilliant idea! Etienne was a pro on his roller blades whilst Anna, Pete and I rode bikes stopping off at the local organic and fruit markets.
They very kindly gave us a lift to the autobus terminal in their very cool VW combi & here's us in the back with their gorgeous dog Pikea.
