Guanajuato
Sitting in the lobby of La Casa Azul in Guanajuato.
We arrived yesterday morning and things have been great. We kinda cant bleive June is ending and we are actually in Mexico and a bunch of friends and family are joining us here in a couple of days!
We both actually managed to sleep a couple hours on the flight down. I think the exhaustion of festival/closing escrow/moving/planning a wedding/planning a wedding In Another Country/coordinating all this transpotation and such with our guests/etc/etc took its toll.
But we spent the day wandering around yesterday, did some bar scouting in preperation for our outing here on thursday with friends in tow, and managed to turn the Bar Fly (our favorite spot from last time we were here) into a rockabilly dance party for like a good hour. We walk in and their playing Operation Ivy, good sign! The dj/barback moves into Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and other swing stuff (bartender guy playing air trumpet between making drinks) i ask if he has any rockabilly. He proceeds to spin a ton of spanish rockabilly and US surf tunes and people around the bar are all dancin around. DJ guy takes off his shirt, gets on the bar, holds his nose and dives. Quite a trip. Place is a blast. I remember it as playing reggae all the time last time we were here (three years ago).
Walking around we saw places that changed (our hostel from before is no more, but theres a cool, cavernlike bar thats new right down from Bar Fly) and just basically drank a bunch of Indio beer and tequila.
Yesterday was more wander and some errands. Today w move to San Miguel and look for a decently stocked liquor store to start building the bar at the Hacienda for our when our guests start to arrive on weds.
We almost even have a ceremony figured out for Saturday. I think it will be all of 10 minutes...The thing for us is the company of our friends for the weekend. I think its gonna be a good week!
