Welcome to Guanajuato!
There was a bike race going on along the route. It seemed to go on forever! You would think it would be over and then miles down the road, you would run into more bikes.

Guanajuato is home to the Mummy Museum. It is home to bodies that were naturally mummified in a cemetery in the city. The city has a climate that provides an environment for naturally mummifying bodies, although some studies of the bodies later have shown possible signs of embalming. At the time, there was a tax on buried bodies. Bodies that were not paid a tax on were dug up or moved to a nearby building. That is when the mummies were discovered.

We ate at Applebee's for lunch. There were men in the parking lot to wash your car while you ate inside.

Guanajuato was a neat city to explore! I highly recommend visiting. If you go, make sure to stop by the Mummy Museum. It is neat to see!
