My visit to Ian MacLeod in Guanajoato

I flew from Mexico City
to visit an old friend from Edinburgh. Ian MacLeod moved out to Guanajuato 30 years ago and has been there ever since.

Guanajuato is an old silver-mining town. It is the state capital and a university town. It is very colourful, and the architecture is very interesting.

I was there during there during the annual art and music festival.

Back in Mexico,

We left our home in Comrie in Perthshire, Scotland 19 of October early in th morning and flew out to Meexico via Heathrow andd arrrived in Mexico City the same evening. David realized that he could not make the bus connection to Mazatlan, and I was pleased to offer him a bed for the night in the Gran Hotel, a beautiful old Art neuvo building right in the center of the old part of Mexico City. Here you can see the beautiful stained glass roof -light in the hotel. And after it you see my supper!

We went sightseeing before David left for Mazatlan the following afternoon and we were thrilled with delight of all this beauty as the photos tell.
