Parting Shots

Now that I'm leaving for home soon, I'd like to share some of my favorite photos taken in Guanajuato. A snap-shot tour of one of the most beautiful cities in my world.

Beautiful children ...

Colorful images ...

Colorful history ... (For 11 years the head of Father Miguel Hidalgo, placed in an iron cage, hung from this hook at one corner of the Alhóndiga de Granaditas as a warning to the Mexican revolutionaries. This building, site of one of the first battles for Mexico's independence from Spain, now houses a fine museum.)

Great examples of Churrigueresque (Mexican baroque) architecture ...


Celia's beautiful gardens ...

And a view of the city center from the Pipila overlook.
