One of our favorite ways to tour Guadalajara is the Via Recreativa. We have shared about this before, and were thrilled to learn that it still takes place. For those who may not have read the post from several years ago, each Sunday, an entire network of streets in and around Guadalajara is closed to vehicular traffic to allow people to experience the city by any non-motorized means. A city of this size can be intimidating for a pedestrian, particularly since traffic laws seem to be mostly a suggestion around here. The Via Recreativa is the most relaxing way to experience Guadalajara, and we took full advantage by walking eight miles of it on Sunday. Here are some of the sights from that day:

We concluded our travels with an ice cold Coca Cola at the Oxxo convenience store nearest Paulina's house (there seems to be an Oxxo on nearly every corner around here). It's no wonder that Mexico consumes more Coke than any other country: we paid about 40 cents for each one, which was less than the cheapest bottle of water. Go figure.
