Whenever I'm on a computer here for a long enough period of time, I'm tired and out of it and writing emails - and don't really know how to generalize how things are here.
It's an absolutely gorgeous town, with a conscientious self/UN-imposed mandate to keep it cultural and attractive. Contrast that to Leon, the nearest city, which is an industrial/commercial wasteland that could be anywhere in the Southwestern US...dusty and pollution ridden with wide streets and shopping and chain stores and nothing attractive what so ever. So, being in Guanajuato is an oasis in terms of aesthetics.
I've been meeting fantastic people, having a great time, and my Spanish is definitely improving. Definitely the most fun I've had since the graduation week of ridiculous last May. I haven't started to figure shit out so much yet, but I'm much more relaxed and it's OK that I'm chilling out, because all in all this is a completely unforgettable place, in so many different ways.
