Guanajuato

Guanajuato is a World Heritage Site situated in the heart of Mexico. From the 1500's to the 1700's, it was the second largest town in North America--Mexico City being the first and Philadelphia was third. This was because it was the first place to have a gold and silver rush. Many beautiful buildings were built by the wealthy at this time. They are still there and make this city one of the unique places to visit in Mexico. I spent five months there this year--from January till June. I will send other posts and pics.
