CASA ZUNIGA
Rick's tours are another added bonus of staying at the heavenly Casa Zuniga.
You would pay a good $25 US or more for a comparable tour.
Rick does 'em for fee.
By the by, Rick is in his 60s and has a post-polio condition that leaves him in a lot of pain after walking.
But he's in better shape than most 30 year olds and he simply needs a day before head's up to do some stretching and he's ready to walk you to death (in a good way).
My first tour was a tag along with a young couple traveling through Central Mexico. She's from London and he's a Dubliner -- they're in the photo above.
We took off on foot, down those narrow, twisting, historic craggy steps and sidewalks filled with history.
My pausing to take photos robbed me of some of Rick's fabulous storytelling.
His love of all things GTO is obvious.
He lives and breathes the history of one of the most important cities in all of Mexico.
He loves to wander along the callejones and point out the amazing things that have taken place -- from floods to the start of the revolution against Spain.
