Pepe went out to the main road to find us a cab, and as per usual, when you want one there aren't any so we had to wait for a bit until finally one arrived.
Once at the bus depot things went quite smoothly and we got on our bus and were headed to Guadalajara.
We passed some very interesting terrain and small villages.
Please excuse some of the next photos - taken on the bus while moving so not the best quality.

We felt, at some points, that we were transported to a village somewhere in Peru, seeing all the women in their native garb.
We also found it quite interesting that one neighbourhood would sell furniture, another would sell pottery, and there would be one after the other - not mixed up so there would be a variety - just one store after the other selling the same thing.
Also, the cemetaries - every single one the same - all with foil garlands and plastic poinsettias - all decked out for the holidays.
We finally arrived, after 8 hours to Guadalajara, and were able to negotiate a taxi to our hotel which is a bit further away from centro than we would like, but it's clean, quiet and quite comfortable.
By the time we finally we got settled it was after 9:00pm so we just went to the hotel restaurant and had a light meal then it was to bed - tomorrow is shopping day at Tonala and we need all of our strenght.
