Limp, soggy picnic sandwich

"We have been here about a
week, living in the "Country
Club Arms," a deluxe apart
ment complete with kitchen, re
frigerator, etc., two maids. All
Pueblo tile work, all for 520
per week
"We came down the west coast
to Mazatlan and then through
Tepic to here. This part of the
trip was ably covered by our
friend Jenkins in his column.
The cost of travel to this place
is about the same as at home,
but from here on except Mexico
City the rates are about half as
much.
Guadalajara is a beautiful city,
400,000 population and eleva
tion of 5,200 feet. There is more
Spanish "blood" here than any
other part of Mexico and have
more 'class' than anything we
saw in Europe. The women and
girls dress beautifully and with
good taste and they make their
own clothes and wear them well.
Architecture Old
"The city is 420 years old
and has more 'colonial architec
ture' than any place outside of
Spain. Yesterday we visited the
church at Zapopan, now a small
suburb of this city. At this
church the group of priests and
soldiers that went north to dis
cover and establish the missions
of California, attended their last
church service until they estab
lished their own at San Diego.
"This church had been in use
for 225 years previously. Four-hundred-year-old
buildings and
homes are common.
"Every visit we make im
presses us that these are great
people. Some, are rich, some ter
ribly poor but carry their own
burdens in more ways than one.
"There is no teen-age (I don't
like that word) problem here.
There are no great stadiums or
gyms connected with the schools
but they are definitely sports
minded.
"All the schools are public.
No churcn schools' and none con
nected with the church teach in
them. Many of the great manu
facturers from the states have
factories here and turn out the
same grade of products.
"Many students go to school
in the morning, work in the aft
ernoon and then night school.
And are they sharp!
"We met one little lady from
the states, a widow with just
about enough to support herself
and a travel kit. She came down
here and visited an orphanage
with 15 kiddies in it. She took
over, moved in and now supports
the whole project at her own
expense and is happy.
Many Oregonians
"We have met many Oregon
folks, the Oregon license plates
get a second look down here.
"There is a city of Obregon, a
state ani an ex-president.
"We will return leisurely via
El Paso, Tex., via the Christo
pher Columbus highway which
passes through eight state
capitals.
"Premium gas is 21 cents our
gallons and yesterday we took
our car to a super service sta
tion. We had the car wash, a
complete 'lube', air cleaned and
five quarts of US Quaker State
oil, all for $2.60.
"We had the misfortune to
break our glasses. Had two new
lenses with the latest bifocal
for $6.80. Yes, the optician was
Mexican, educated in Switzer
land and had the finest labora
tory equipment we have ever
seen. By all means have a sec
ond pair with you because one is
not always so fortunate.
"Our advice to our friends is,
do not hesitate to come here.
Have good tires and your car in
good shape and then have the
best vacation ever and meet the
most gracious people."
