El tequila con su sangrita y limoncito.
en un bar en Guadalajara…
Looking for a sangrita recipe? You could do a lot worse than my mate José’s rough and ready concoction…

I love the way the shadows seem to have nothing to do with the lettering. The colour too is quite pleasing…
Once again, taken in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico, a couple of days ago.
Tequila again, but the car’s from Michoacán. The loudspeaker on top is to keep you posted as you lie in on a Sunday morning of the latest prices of veggies, local politician´s promises, the times of lucha libre or bull fights and sometimes just music for the sheer hell of it. Love it!
It got a bit hot today in Tequila. The dog here had the right idea. Stay in the shade. Maintain as much body contact with the concrete floor as possible. Do no exercise more strenuous than opening one eye occasionally. The green shadows are from the roof tiles.
Too late to post anything of note. Suffice to say washing your clothes is a lot harder in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico…
Magdalena, Jalisco is famous for its opal mines, to get to one of them you drive through some gorgeous landscape such as this prime example.
Jose Cuervo have spent a fortune doing up their old factory, La Rojea. It’s open for fancy tours and corporate events. Or, like me, save yourself a peso or two and just admire the grounds through the railings and patronise some of the other less slick factory tours in Tequila. Cuervo means “crow” in Spanish for the record.
For once I got to be the passenger in the car on the toll road back from Tequila to Guadalajara. I love the turquoise volcanic landscape. 95 pesos each way in June 2007.

* edit! * A renowned agave expert reliably informs me that it´s not Agave Tequilana Azul, but Agave Americana Var Expansa, you live and learn…
Not the agave for making tequila, but a close cousin. Shot taken in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico
