I finally arrived in Guadalajara with my parents this past Sunday! We're staying with a host family for one week and taking Spanish classes at an intensive study abroad program here for a week before they leave me off on my own.
Prior to Guadalajara, we were in sunny, rainy, humid, tropical, and mosquito infested Puerto Vallarta for five days. I can proudly say that I now have a slight tan and had my share of tequila and Paloma's (a drink with lime juice and tequila) while I was in Vallarta.
During our stay in Vallarta, we took a "Predator" tour which took us to a tequila distillery and the tropics where the movie starring our governator was filmed. The tequila distillery was pretty cool, checking out all of the different steps in creating tequila and tasting about 5 different types (including almond, coffee with cinnamon, and regular). They also taught us how to check whether or not the tequila has too much water or sugar in the bottle based on the amount of bubbles! Pretty crazy.
After the tequila tour, we had a HUGE lunch and headed down to las cascadas (waterfalls/cascasdes between huge rocks). Philip decided to join locals and take the leap. My parents and I on the otherhand took the safe route and stayed up in the restaurant.
Aside from the humidity and 12 mosquito bites, Vallarta was an all around amazing trip. Pics to follow once I get Internet on my computer...
