From Mexico With Love

Amusement Park

  Yesterday Teresita and I went to a theme park, that is here in Guadalajara but that I had never been to. There were lots of rides and attractions, we went on ten. Firstly there was a dinosaur attraction where they had mechanical dinosaurs and a guide (possibly the person least interested in his job I have ever seen) monotonously telling us about each one. Next we went on Titán, a roller coaster followed by The Bat Flyer a big thing that shook us around a lot, another rollercoaster, Tornado followed and then a smaller one that was really meant for kids. Then we went to eat, later we had a guided tour inside a human body, Alicia (well a mock up of one anyway), this was followed by the log flumes and another ride on titán, after which we went inside a wonky house where there were all such of weird things, such as an apparently floating chair. All of course owed to optical illusion and gravity apparently being in a different place. Finally we went into the best ghost house I have ever been in, which was mostly pitch black or very dark and had good actors as our demon guides around the house that were meant to frighten us, and in some cases did, as a couple of girls left the ghost house early. The cost of the pass for all the rides, including the food was just $130 pesos (£6.50 / €9.50) an absolute steal when compared to those in the UK.
Sadly at some point my camera either picked up some dust or the lens got scratched as a black mark appears in the top right corner of most of my photos. I haven’t been able to sort this out yet either, cleaning the lens has made no difference.

Ayer Teresita y yo fuimos a un parque de diversiones, está aquí en Guadalajara pero nunca había ido antes. Había muchos juegos y atracciones, hicimos diez. Primero un atracción de dinosaurios donde tenían dinosaurios mecánicos y un guía (posiblemente el hombre menos interesado en su trabajo que he visto jamás) contándonos monótonamente de cada uno. Luego subimos el Titán, una montaña rusa y después The Bat Flyer una maquina grande que nos agitó mucho seguida de una montaña rusa más, Tornado y luego una más pequeña que realmente era para niños. Luego fuimos a comer y después adentro de un cuerpo humano, Alicia con guía (Bueno un cuerpo fingido). A continuación subimos los troncos, otra vez el Titán y luego entramos en una casa chueca en donde había muchas cosas raras como una silla flotando. Por supuesto todo debido a una ilusión óptica y a la posición de gravedad. Por fin entramos en la mejor casa de fantasmas que he visto jamás, todo oscuro (u obscuro si eres mexicano) y tenía buenos actores como nuestros guías demonios que tenían que darnos miedo, en algunos casos funcionó, unas chicas corrieron de la casa temprano. El pase costó $130 pesos (£6.50/€9.50) e incluyó todos los juegos y la comida. Una ganga absoluta en comparación con ellos del Reino Unido.
Tristemente en algún momento polvo se pegó con mi cámara o se rascó la lente porque hay una mancha negra en la parte superior derecha en la mayoría de mis fotos. No he podido solucionarlo tampoco, limpié la lente pero no hizo ninguna diferencia.

Not sure how PC the sign on the bathroom was.
No estoy seguro de lo políticamente correcto de la señal del baño.

Well yeah, it's not so much Donny as a place but for the atmosphere of depression that it seems to have. Also cos in donny im always either single or with some complete psycho bird.
