Here's a few wall paintings describing the wars for Guadalajara's independence. This was at a old building in el centro de Guadalajara.

Here's the other side of the balcony in the gorgeous old building. The tour guide spoke super quickly and into a microphone making it obviously much easier to understand her. But what I got was that this building was from the neoclassicism period and held the history of the city.

Here's the sweet cathedral across the street. It's a leftover of the Spanish influence in Guadalajara. It was really beautiful inside... except there was a glass case containing a dead little girl representing a form a valiance during some war between the religious and non-religious. Apparently her father killed her because she wanted to take the sacrament. It wasn't that bad except you could see her rotting hands (she was wearing a mask).

Here's another part of the centro, there was a nice fountain and little girls putting stickers on you and then asking for money. If you didn't pay them they just took the stickers back. It was kind of sad.

Here's the view from my window.
