Not a sick pig in sight but all this talk about the flu has left Guanajuato (our first stop), and probably Mexico as a whole, just a little less well (off) than it already was.
For our part, we've ignored the travel warnings (although we did fold a wee bit under pressure and bring masks and tamiflu) and defied the travel insurance people to embrace Mexico by enrolling in Spanish lessons, taking a tiny unit for one month and sitting in the pretty town plazas with a cerveza or bad wine (which is mostly what it is) to do our bit for common sense and the economy.
The town has about 70,000 people and sits in a pretty impressive valley at 2000m above sea level. It's surrounded by very impressive mountains.
