Day 4 (April 30) Update




After going to the GM Liao Plant, we headed to the city and state of Guanajuato, where the former president of Mexico Vicente Fox was governor in 1995. The city, with approximately 71,000 habitants, still keeps the architeture of the colonial times. There is no place for buildings and contemporary constructions, its architeture is preserved by the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Guanajuato is an amazing historical city where you can learn of the Mexican culture just by analizying its achiteture and sculptures. It is impressive how their history has been preserved and used to explain to different generations how the Mexican independence happened.
