Tlaquepaque
(December 27, 1996)
Tlaquepaque (T lah kay paw kay) is located within a short taxi ride from Guadalajara. The colorful
streets are lined with all sorts of shops... from fine Mexican artisans to not-so-fine Mexican crafts. There
are street vendors everywhere... we couldn't walk 1/2 a block without being asked to buy a tablecloth (nice ones,
but we weren't look for those) or hammocks.
LEFT: Here you can get a feel for the street activity. The little stands
are being set up for the day. They'll be selling all sorts of food items
RIGHT: Ryan poses outside of the restaurant after lunch. I think it was called
"El Paraiso". An open-air atmosphere... good food & pleasant decorations.
LEFT: This little guy was quite a flute player...
Kristin & Ryan each bought one of his "pan flutes".
RIGHT: An Indian woman displays her "trinkets"....
! Hay gangas allí !
This was one of Ryan's first chances to practice his Spanish. He says that the ice cream was some of the
BEST he's ever had!
