Looking down on the lobby of the historic Hotel Frances in Guadalajara, Mexico. Our room, unfortunately, was directly above a disco attached to the hotel, so the bed rocked and rolled until 4 am. Attempts to get moved to another room led to animated and ultimately fruitless late-night runnings to and fro, ending in a return to our original room to wait out the noise. A bit surreal...
Built in the year 1610, the hotel boasts of being the oldest in the Americas, and it wears its colonial heart on its sleeve despite several renovations over the years. It's been used as a set for a number of western films, notably by Sergio Leone.
