Guadalajara is a city of old
architecture and street vendors with an even older history. This old
lady was seated on an empty five gallon pail with her granddaughter and
son gleefully selling vegetables from wicker baskets. The streets are
full of all sorts, young and old selling everything from fruits and
vegetables to crafts and hardware. The younger street urchins run around
with only a box of chewing gum or cigarettes selling their wares to
motorists and pedestrians alike. |
| This mother is preparing her
daughter for a day on the curbside selling vegetables. They start very
young by helping their mothers sell the days goods to passers bye. |

The old quarter of the city is full
of beautiful old buildings. The constant hustle and bustle of people and
cars contrasts with the historic architecture that would have seen a
quieter street of horses and carts hundreds of years ago. |
| The cathedrals in Guadalajara are
always occupied with people coming and going, taking time out of their
busy lives to quietly contemplate. |

It is very hard to document the
fabulous architecture that stands on every street corner and the history
that unfolds as you enter. This city's old section is a real highlight
and not to be missed for it's rich past. |
