Bronze Age

Certain streets in central Guadalajara have been closed to auto and truck traffic--a merciful relief from the acrid smoke one contends with when walking along this city's thoroughfares. We came upon a display of surrealistic benches in a square surrounded by both ancient and modern buildings, some begun in the 16th century and completed in the 18th or later centuries, probably when more money became available. Some pictures:

The cute ones.

Princess Ramekin.

His Baldness.

Finally, two photos: one of the roofscape of the central cathedral (an edifice built over several centuries), and one of a building next to our B&B, lit by the late afternoon sun.



Cheers to our many readers! (We think there are about four of you.)
