Guanajuato

After arriving at the airport, we drove 30 minutes to Guanajuato where our hotel reservation was located.  We wondered around the city, but couldn't find the hotel.  The three surface streets are one way east to west and the underground tunnels run one way west to east.   The tunnels are poorly marked with directions and we must have asked 10 people where the hotel was before we picked up a guide who directed us to a parking lot and then we carried our luggage 200 yards to the Hotel, where there was no parking.  It was the Hotel Luna on the Jardin de la Union.  There were bands playing all the time and lots of people walking around.  We used the guide the next day to tour 3 museums (Mine, Inquisition, and legends).  The town is in a valley with hills all around.  Very colorful place.
