First and foremost, a big thank you to everyone for the encouraging words, and to those who felt they could identify. I loved reading all your comments. My irritation with blogging was synonymous with some other irritating things this past week, but I'll spare you all my university/immigration rants! On to the pictures!
I don't get to spend every weekend exploring foreign capitals, and I wouldn't want to. After spending the past two weekends out of town and being properly touristy, I was well overdue for one spent here in Guadalajara. Of course, "at home," and "relaxing," doesn't have to mean boring-- let me show you some ways to fully enjoy a weekend in my temporary home town....
Start out at a bar located in/on an English double decker bus...
Order 1/2 a metre of beer (but bring some friends to help you with that...)
The following morning go for a crepe breakfast
Followed by a walk through a nice leafy neighbourhood
You can see all the sights, like immaculate special-edition beetles (called vochos here)
And brilliant souped-up vochos with monster wheels!
Read
Try some Mexican beer in a cooler-than-thou bar
With comic books...
Go biking on Sunday morning, when a main street is turned into a bike lane for six hours
And round it off with a home-cooked dinner and homemade margaritas... but if you dance while you shake them, blurry pictures may result!
And good margaritas certainly will!
My boyfriend made us a wonderful tortilla de patatas, or Spanish omelette, as he does every Sunday. Unfortunately my useless frying pan kind of sabotaged the appearance, though not the taste.
(And yes, yes, I mixed my margaritas on the washing machine, and this resulted in both lime seeds and tequila in the washing machine... And that may have been the cause of the washing machine flooding the apartment today, which is why this Friday night was slightly less cool than last Friday night...)
And erm, I'm not an alchoholic, just for the record...
So, is anyone coming to visit me? ; )

Sounds like a fun weekend.
Love your boots and the fact that you dance while you shake your margaritas. Is there any other way????
Is your bf mexican?
All the beetles in Mexico are awesome, and pretty much everyone could afford one here! We had one last year when we lived in a different city...
@ Ashley; nope, Spanish, or Catalan if you ask him!
I'm glad you were able to "relax", haha. :)
Ooh party time! Love the Bus Bar haha! Looks like so much fun! ;)

It sounds like a fun weekend and a good time to relax. I love all your pictures because its good to see posts like these about random stuff and what you get up to. I love the cars they are just so sweet.
Stay-at-home weekends are oftentimes the best kind. And one certainly doesn't have to sacrifice fun in the name of staying put. Your photos are a testament to that! A bus bar? Who knew!
Crepes for breakfast and homemade margaritas? Yes, please! I don't even drink but it's hard for me to resist margaritas (I also love how they smell!)
And yep, I'm half filipino and half white (polish, french, russian all muddled together) :D
love the two cars and your boots are awesome!
