DEALS??
We just got back from Guadalajara - I think we got there 10 years too late. I agree with danaeb - if you enjoy paying full tourist retail, you're
going to LOVE it.
In many of the "artesania" shops, the stuff had come directly from Oaxaca and Chiapas - I have a feeling the real bargains lie, as always, for those
who seek the source.
So much for the downside. I admit I have not bought furniture for 10 years in LA, so we may have been insulated . . it was a great trip - and with
those new discount fares and the fact that big G is just 40 mins up to road from La Paz - we're going back muy pronto.

Yep, that first one was a Tex-Mex joint in Austin
Pity they don't have a catalog just yet. The pictures look like what I like. I have to go to P City several times a year so I'll take the truck next
time and have a look.
It's very frustrating living within sight of a Mexican City with 200,000 Mexicans and hardly anything Mexican for sale. Everyone there goes to Copel
for "cosas modernas" from China and the U.S. There are a couple of small curio shops and more of those in Algodones but they are all geared to junk
tourists can carry. "Mexican furniture" around here is harder to find than chupacabras.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

La Paz has quite a few rustic furniture stores some of them low end and others over the top, if its the couches and chairs in wood and leather they
sell them on empty lots.

Strive For The Ideal, But Deal With What\'s Real.

You went at the wrong time. Should have waited a bit more. There's thousands of craftsmen around Guadalajara. You didn't look in the right places.
