MORE PHOTOS HERE The weekend pace is wonderful in Guadalajara. I was invited to a rooftop party of gringos who teach at the American School here on Saturday, and spent this morning with a group of Mexican photographers and designers who I’ve met through Maria Madrigal. After breakfast, Maria walked us through her photo exhibit at the Ex-Convento. Along the walk we passed Avenida Juarez, usually bustling with traffic, which is closed for cyclits, families and walkers to enjoy.
This evening, Danielle, David and I walked her new dog, Oso, over to a nearby plaza where a group meets every Sunday evening to dance the danzon, a traditional Cuban dance. There I met Coco and Raul, a fashionable dressed couple who I promised a CD of photos for next weekend.
Tomorrow I begin my Spanish class.

Muy bien, senor. Buena suerte con su clase de Espanol.
Sounds wonderful!
Sarah and I were hoping you would blog your experience.
