Me gusta mucho el jardin! It is 9:30 and the jardin de la paz is buzzing with life. In the middle of the jardin is a large gazebo. Surrounding the gazebo are large beds of flowers and also trees which have been grown and pruned carefully to form a canopy protecting the iron benches below from the sun during the day and from the rain at night. Many families, couples, and visitors sit on the benches, on the steps of the Juarez theatre, and in the cafes encircling el jardin. Musicians play for those who can pay for a special song, but all can hear the tunes floating through the trees. Shakespearean-dressed actors roam with castenets and streamers in hand, vying for tourists who would like a special theatrical tour of the city. Families young and old stroll around the jardin, to say hello to friends or just to be a part of the community. (I will add a picture later when I have more time.)
I want a jardin. I want a place to walk to at night and see my friends and listen to music and just relax. Things are a bit slower, more relaxed, and there is always time to commune with one another. Me encanta Guanajuato...
