Ah, Truco, how I adore thee. The Boy and I visit this restaurant almost daily. I went through a brief phase where I kept saying that we should go to other restaurants, and the Boy would indulge me in this foolish endeavor (it’s how we went to La Oreja). And then I would realize the error of my ways. You just can’t get any better than the cheap, delicious, authentic food of Truco 7.
Figured I’d write a quick update while I have the computer all to myself. The Boy is completely conked out as a result of massive exhaustion and headache. More on this in a moment.
Today, we decided to go to the Museo de las Momias (or Museum of Mummies). Basically, there was a system of catacombs just outside of Guanajuato a long time ago. People interred in these cats became mummified somehow (More on the history here – look under the Attractions section). The bodies are very, very well preserved (skin, bones, teeth, and creepiest of all, eyelashes – interestingly, genitals do not mummify well). The walk-through was fairly short, but disturbing (several dead babies and dead baby pictures). The Boy took plenty of pictures of all the mummies, so I suppose those will be going up on his flickr in the near future. I don’t think I’ll update my flickr until I get home.
