Guadalajara, Mexico
I now I've made
some poor decisions on my trip so far, but without a doubt today's
was the worst. Leaving the safety of my motorcycle and public
transportation including some really nice trains I traded all that in
for the stupidity of a bicycle that has surely seen better days then
today. With each squeak of its wheels, chain, and barely held
together frame I made my way out into the city to finally see some
sights but damn near killed myself in the process. While cars will
wait for motorcyclists or pedestrians kindly waiving them on most
drivers seem totally oblivious to bikes. Every turn I made seemed to
lead me directly into the path of a towering bus ready to run me over
rather than be late for its next stop. The sites were great though
and it was nice to see so much of the city, but with the size of
Guadalajara that the other cities that I've been to lack, it also has
much less charm then the other places. Here its block after block of
stores, cafeterias, and not a lot of things to see. I'm sure the old
part of the city must be nice to visit, but after two hours of near
death experiences I was ready to be done. From now on I think I'll
stick to Saphira. Let's just hope she didn't get jealous.
