La Valenciana Church (Guanajuato, Mexico)

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.

A couple weeks from today, I’ll be at “Experience Hendrix Featuring Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Zakk Wylde, Eric Johnson, and many more” in Portland (Forest Grove, actually, a bit west of Portland). Can’t wait.
