La Hacienda in the morning mist.
The mountaintops are lush like a rainforest.
Trees in the fields. 
The mountaintops are lush like a rainforest.Trees in the fields. Also exciting was going to Guanajauto. It is a city that really feels like another world. Like an old city in Spain. 
Colorful hillside homes.
A city carved out of stone. You drive through the city almost entirely through an underground tunnel system that was literally carved out the mountain. 
Bonus: it is the birthplace of famous artist Diego Rivera. In fact, the hotel we stayed in was just around the corner from his house. Took us maybe three minutes to walk there. The house is unbelievable-filled with original furniture, including the bed his mother gave birth in. Original artwork from Rivera included an amazing painting from age 12 and nude sketch of wife Frida Kahlo. Works from other famous Latin artists and photographers fill the upper floors (sorry, no pictures allowed of artwork) and the house includes a movie theatre.

P.S. The absolute best mole can be found at Canastillo de Flor. I had it for lunch and dinner the whole trip.
