Guadalajara/conajum

Well, well I am quite happy to say that I went to Guadalajara, because the conajum (Congreso Nacional Juvenil de Misiones) took place there, and here you are some of the pictures of the places I saw there.

I obvously went downtown and the very fist thing I want to say related to this place is that it is perfectly CLEAN, there is not garbage at all, what makes the city look much more beautiful, and there are not street vendors either.

The weather was nice, well I was there for 3 days and it rained cats and dogs (the last day, day of the pilgrimage by the way) it was also warm and a little cloudy as well.

I also had the traditional meal; Tortas ahogadas (this meal is made with a bolillo called birote, and it has pork and onion, full of broth) they were really tasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

It was a super short but illustrative walk in downtown. It was short because it lasted less than one hour, but it was illustrative because Lila (the girl in charge of us, who is studing History) told us briefly some legends, stories, anecdote,of the history of this beautiful city.

We saw the cathedral, the Degollado teather witch was constructed in the times of the civil war, a fountain located in the exact place where Guadalajara was officially declared independent, by the way in this fountain acording to Lila there is a woman named Beatriz who is carring a rooster in her arms and this woman was important in the process of independece (I don´t remember exactly what she did :(

There is also a legend that says that when Miguel Hidalgo I. Costilla declared the end of slavery he gave a shoot to the clock that is in the goverment palace in the plaza de las armas, and that was when we noticed the shot.

The flag of this ciy has two big lions and a tree in the midle as the symbol. And all these buildings and statues are located in downtown very near one from the other.

In general I can say that women and men are pretty and hadsome respectivly, They are tall and thin.

...I honestly fell in love with Guadalajara. It was pretty nice, clean and its people were polite and nice.

This post is dedicated to all of them. Thank you very much for your hospitality!!!!!!!!.
