Fotos de la Gualadajara

So as promised, I am putting up more pictures of GDL.

This weekend was very interesting. I finally got a chance to meet most of the LC members of AIESEC Guadalajara-- very nice people indeed.

After the meeting on Saturday, I was invited to go out with some AIESEC Alumni and trainees to go to a 'Feria de Maiz'-- it was essentially a Corn Exposition. Very interesting indeed. I had so much food with corn-- tamales, corn tortillas, elote, pan dulce de maiz.... so many yummy things! I have to say that one of my favorites was the corn cupcake. Why? Let me set the scene...

We took the bus to a little puebla just outside of Guadalajara, to a little colonia. Once we got there, it started pouring-- like I'm talking torrential rain, not like the drizzle that we usually get in Toronto. And so... we all huddled underneath a little tarp, going from tienda to tienda tasting the different foods. We came across a little stand that sold baked goods, and I decided to try the cupcake. What a little taste of heaven-- I have to say.... it was freshly baked, which meant it was still warm and it was just oh so good... especially after getting wet and cold from the rain. Corn Festival... yum! 2 thumbs up!

(Right) Canadians and Mexicans! From L-R: Carla, Michael, me, Nan, Ali, Fehrlette. Carla and Fehrlette being the Mexicanas of course. This pic was taken during a little get together en nuestra casa about 1.5 weeks ago.


(Left) Guillermo (Memo for short) and I in front of the Basilica de Virgen de Zapopan. Zapopan is a suburb of Guadalajara... truly beautiful. There is definitely a great colonial feel when walking through the municipal buildings, plazas and small restaurants there. I felt like I was back in Rome!
