¡Nos encontramos en la escalera de Teatro Juarez!
Let's meet on the steps of Teatro Juarez!
This grandiose building, fronted by a long set of steps, stately columns, and statues of the muses, sits at one end of Guanajuato's central plaza. Its steps provide a perfect meeting place. It was built at the beginning of the 1900s, in the latter part of Porfirio Diaz's thirty year reign as president of México, and it reflects his extravagance. Inside, the theater is lush with intricate copper railings, red carpets, gleaming wooden seats, and glowing lights.
On Saturday night, we attended a performance by the a capella group Voz en Punto. They sang traditional Mexican songs and jazz classics and the wonderful Bésame Mucho. I felt like I should be dressed in silk and pearls and perhaps a feathered boa.
