Yesterday after watching the Taekwondo practice, we stopped off at one of the taco stands along the street. It is certainly different from anything we do up home! There are several people chopping meat, cooking it, making tortillas, and putting all this together for people who stand in front. There is a wide choice of salsas, onions, cilantro and so on to put on the tacos. I had tacos de lengua (tacos made with the tongue of a cow), something I never get in the US! Then you can stand in front or find a seat and eat what you have bought. It is fun! You should try it!
Ana wanted to buy a gift for a friend so we went to a big mall. There were crowds of people milling around, Christmas decorations were sparkling, and signs proclaimed pre-Christmas sales. There are so many things to buy! Somewhere we saw a sign that described Guadalajara as the "Silicon Valley" of Mexico. It is a busy city with lots of people. Yet there is a fascinating history here, too, as many places in the downtown areas show, and there is much of old Mexico that you can find in out of the way places.
