One of the new things we added for this ttears Blue Agave Tour, was a guided tour of Guadalajara's beautiful downtown area, our good friend and fellow BATmemeber, Clayton Szczeck of Experience Tequila. While I did not write down everything that he told us - and there was a lot of great info - I did get some good pics and a little bit of info to share with y'all!

José Orozco is one of the greatest artists of all time, and a treasure of Mexico. Not only did he not have a left hand (as he blew it up making fireworks), but he was nearly blind and had to literally press his face up to, whatever it was that he was painting. Sr. Orozco was not a fan of the church or government, but somehow he ended up painting murals in the government buildings in Guadalara and Mexico City, as well as the Hospicio de Cabañas (no pics from there today, but will post some soon). The following mural was at La Palacio de Gobierno.
