Remember the good times

Estuve caminando por la ciudad, pasé cerca del mercado San Juan de Dios y no pude evitar entrar a una pequeña botica que se encuentra frente al mercado... me recordó a mi abuelo! tiene también ese olor tan particular que me recordaba la botica de mi abuelo, el mostrador, cuadros y tantas cosas que añoro con mucho afecto...

i was walking around the town, i passed by near to the San Juan de Dios market the i couldn't help myself get in into a small drugstore located in front of the market... it reminds me to my grandpa! it has also that very particular scent that remind me the drugstore of my granpa, the counter, the pictures and so many different things the i remember it kindly from there

a Cantina story...

Fuí hace poco con unos amigos a una cantina en Guadalajara, tiene una arquitectura hermosa, sus muebles son casi todos originales y detrás de la barra hay una bicicleta con una historia muy chistosa: un cartero llegó un día a pedir algo de beber y despues de varias rondas de bebidas pidió al cantinero que tomara a cuenta de pago su bicicleta y él vendría al día siguiente a liquidar su cuenta y por su bicicleta que es su medio de trabajo.... La bicicleta lleva ahi poco mas de 50 años....

I went recently with some friends to a very famous cantina in Guadalajara, it has a very nice architecture, the furniture is almost old like the cantina, they hasn't change the counter and behind of that there's a bicycle with a very funny story: one day a postman went to drink but after a few rounds he ask to the cantinero (bartender), if he can keep the bike as a part of the account and he will be back next day to paid the bill and get back the bicycle that is his transportation for his job... The bicycle has around of 50 years behind the counter...

The Theater

Tuve oportunidad de visitar el teatro, uno de los más hermosos y antiguos de mi ciudad y ver unos conciertos de mariachi tradicional, si, hay diferencias entre los mariachis, el tradicional usa solamente instrumentos de cuerda, su vestidos son hechos de telas blancas de algodón  y cantan sones...  El mariachi era principalmente para amenizar fiestas religiosas y mas del pueblo, la tradición pudiera perderse pero vi tantos y diferentes grupos que creo que seguirá con el tiempo...
I had the oportunity to go to the theater, one of the most beautiful and old of my hometown and watch some concerts of mariachi traditional, yes, there's some difference between mariachi bands, the traditional uses just strings instrument, their outfits are made it with cotton white fabric and they sing mexican sones... The mariachi use to be mainly to cheer religious festivity and be more for the people, the tradition could be lost thru the past of the time but i saw so many different groups that i think i keep going along the country...
