Read about the fascinating history of this World Heritage site here.
Today’s photo showed up as my random, desktop image of the day. Guanajuato is known for Diego Rivera so I was hoping that the artist had gone on to similar greatness in the subsequent decade plus. I typed in the artist’s Flickr URL only to see that he abandoned Flickr before I took this photo. You can find him still active on Facebook though.
Today’s photo comes from my attempt to go by bus to a highly-rated restaurant in Guanajuato. I couldn’t figure the buses out so I ended up taking a taxi. Therefore, I got to the restaurant before they opened and probably an hour or so before my reservation. I decided to take a walk to kill time, and I headed in the direction of this church on the top of the hill. A little over halfway there I got a little freaked out as the road had turned into a path, and the path started getting pretty sketchy. I felt like I was about to stumble upon El Chapo’s hideout so I turned around and headed back to the restaurant.
If I’m ever in Guanajuato again, I plan to make it to this 18th-century church as it’s supposed to be very opulent, including lots of stuff covered in gold leaf.
