Today is a quieter day but we are doing preparation for our big youth event this evening. We have invited youth from Dallas and Tara's community to come out with their friends to an evening of games, pizza and some skits we've prepared.
Yesterday we had a day of learning more about Guadalajara as we visited the market which included their cathedral as well as indoor and outdoor vendors. We started with a picture scavenger hunt which forced us to interact with some of the locals and learn more about the city. After a great lunch in a restaurant we spent some time shopping in the market. A long, hot, tiring, fantastic day.
Below are a bunch of the pictures from yesterday.
Lots of street vendors
Austin thinks he's the knig
Buying something to cool down
Inside the Market
Lots of neat statues you could sit on.
One of our assignments was to get a picture of a shoe shiner so Diane took advantage and her shoes shined. He was a nice guy who has only been doing this for 11 years because as he got older no one would hire him so he "had to find some way to make an honest living." (His words)
The crypt under the cathedral
Routonda
Not something you see everyday in Canada.
Enjoying a Rousa, an ice drink with salt, chili powder and pop. An acquired taste which I did not acquire.
FYI: The young Mexican girl in this picture is Paulina. She is a neighbour of Dallas and Tara's who we met two years ago and she has been hanging out with us this trip as well so we invited her along for the day.
The cathdral
Our platter of food for lunch. 3 of these fed 22 of us, with leftovers.
