Andrew woke up at 6am to the passing rumble of city trash trucks over the cobblestone street. It went downhill from there.... We went out to find a coffee shop and realized that we were running low on cash. Andrew tried to withdraw cash but the checking account said 'insufficient funds.' After further investigation I found out that my work travel reimbursement check for $3000 hadn't been deposited and my auto pay for the credit card had withdrawn the money from my account leaving NO MONEY!!! Jesica hadn't told her bank that she was traveling and they wouldn't release funds. We were scrambling. It got worse when I realized I didn't have my credit card!!! Arrrrrghhhhhh. After 5 hours and lots of help from our mothers we were able to get pesos. We looked into one cathedral and called it a day.
Catholic things
Interesting
Spooky stuff
Cool sunset
And started the 5 hour drive to Guadalajara without a confirmed hotel reservation. We received a message from an Airbnb host with a offer for $14/night room. We arrived at 10:30 and we greeted by a German woman in a gritty neighborhood. When we turned on the light, Nevin saw a roach scurry under the bed. We spent the next 5 minutes flipping mattresses trying to kill the intruder. The walls were smeared with squished bug guts and antennae. The host said 'I've never seen roaches here' and promptly handed us a can of Raid. Regardless we fell asleep quickly and woke up to the sound of car alarms twice.
