Tortas Are Fun..

…and delicious!  Yesterday we went and sampled a delicious Tapatio (people of Guadalajara) specialty.  The Torta Ahogada.  Since we are gringos, we were only served medio Tortas Ahogadas, which means instead of a full 100% chile sauce, it’s only half chile and half tomato.  Next time, we know better.  Particularly for a reborn again meat eater, it was delectable.  Bread, cut open, with pork and fresh onions smothered in spicy tomato sauce.  Yum.

Today we went for tortas round two at La Bendicion Super Tortas.  These were more traditional tortas with avocado, tomato, and mayonnaise (difficult to avoid in Mexican sandwiches).  We also cruised the plazas, and lived up the tourist role.  Yes, they do have horse drawn carriages in Guadalajara.  This is particularly surprising to me since people drive like MANIACS here.  Seriously, I’m very happy to not have whiplash yet from riding the bus.

My new favorite bus accessory: jesus on the cross surrounded by fur.  Yep, count it.  Here’s a picture of my favorite Jesus sighting yet.

And a lifted VW bug.  Got to love the class, Mexico.
