parade in yerbabuena
During the four days we had been to gunajuato, we witnessed four of those parades. Here –in advance- a short parade in the small village inyerbabuena close to guanajuato’s. the religiosity seems to be deeply rooted in the society, – anyhow with quite a lot joie de vivre.
museo de las momias / guanajuato
On one of the municipal cemeteries they had opened tombs in order to create space for new dead bodies and they discovered grotesque mummified bodies, even they were just a few decades old. A rumor says that the poeple from guanajauto have a hang to macabre and morbid things, well, i guess there could be a cohesion.
In this museum they display shelves of the graves as well with inscriptions such as names, death year and usually r.i.p. (rest in peace). but now the mummies are -with the pants down- on display in the museum and be admired by hordes of school children. up to a size of 4 feet they are allowed the enter the museum for free and adults over 60 get ghoulishly a discount.
guanajuato
Traveler, if you come to guanajuato, stay here: 21.00’52 “N – 101.15’25.8W (near the” Monumento a El Pipila “And if you come with big rig (high), then please take care and don´t get stuck in one of the numerous tunnels.
The old silver town is wedged between mountains, has many splendid buildings and even more churches and no place for a large central park. But there are plenty of cozy and nice places with lage trees, countless pubs and even more souvenir shops. They love to party, rather often and very importand: it has to be loud.
la paz -> mazatlán
Here’s some tips for mexico travelers:
The ferry connection “TMC” from la paz to the mainland mexico (mazatlán) is cheaper than the baja ferry and has an open upper deck. Should your vehicle be longer than 6m, it is automatically classified in the motorhome class of 11m. Ask for a price in the exact length of your vehicle, we had thereby saved 40%. The advantage of the open upper deck is also that you are allowed to sleep in the vehicle during the 16-hour, nightly crossing. Tip: Do not park close to the ventilation shafts of the ship, it´s very noisy there and don´t look too much forward to the included dinner.
botanical garden “buena fortuna” / la ribera
We had a recommendation to visit the botanical garden in la ribera. This private run project reminded me very much to the project of the australian biologist alan carle, who founded togehter his wife susan “the botanical ark” in mossman / australia and still runs it.
The botanical garden “buena fortuna” on the baja califonia sur is a project of well known biologist gabriel howearth (seeds of change) and kitzia kokopelmana (countryside designer with useful plants & kitchen alchemist). Both projects see themselves as a living seed bank for endangered and rare plant species, with a special attention to the useful plants.
Kitzias mission is: “I dedicate my life of Service to the Earth to all living beings. May every seed planted be multiplied to bring abundance to every home. May every garden be cultivated organically so the ecosystems allow a great diversity of natural life to thrive. It is my purpose in life to carry on organic seeds of botanical diversity to co-create beauty and abundance now and for the future generations.”
