Calle Guanajuato (Ashland, Oregon – December 25, 2023)

After playing a little Christmas pickle ball in Lithia Park, I was driving through deserted downtown and noticed that Calle Guanajuato looked particularly different. Not only was the lighting nice, there were no people for once. Christmas is probably the only day of the year that you can see Skout and this walkway this empty at 4:30 p.m.

Today’s photo comes from my trip to Guanajuato, Mexico last October.

This year is the 50th year of partnership between the cities of Ashland, Oregon and Guanajuato, Mexico. I happen to be in Mexico at the moment, teaching at the University of Guanajuato. A few days ago I took a bus from the center of Guanajuato to the bus station (so that I could change buses and head to San Miguel de Allende). I was surprised to see a giant mural of Ashland out the bus window on the left. So yesterday I headed back to that location for a closer look. Behind the mural was this plaque commemorating the 30 year anniversary. Photos of the mural coming here soon…

Last summer I taught in Guanajuato, Mexico for SOU’s MiM program. One MiM student from Ashland traveled to Mexico to take the class. The Mexican students got to thinking that they should do what that Ashland student did and take a MiM class in Ashland. So this summer most of my class from last summer came to Ashland and took a class. On their off day we went to Crater Lake.

Guanajuato, Mexico

Yes, those are birds in cages in the windows upstairs. I could hear them from across a wide and busy street. It was only when I looked for where the sound was coming from that I saw the bearded man.
