Guanajuato Bus Tour



On Saturday, I went on a great bus tour of three nearby towns, Guanajuato (wanna-WAH-toe), Dolores Hidalgo & Atotonilco. All three, in addition to San Miguel, are historically significant to the 1810 revolution for Mexican independence from Spain. The tour was sponsored by el Instituto Allende. Cesar, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly. Guanajuato is also the site of the birthplace home of Diego Rivera, which is now a museum. Many of my tour-mates became friends that I encountered around town during the rest of my stay in San Miguel.
