    Aguascalientes although nowhere near the ocean is known for having quite beautiful sunsets, similar to those found near the coast.

    Aguascalientes itself is a provincial city geographically located at the center of Mexico. The standard of living of hidrocalidos is one of the highest found in Mexico.

    Here of some pics of my beautiful city:

    The Nissan booth setup at the Feria Nacional de San Marcos was where they unveiled the latest model that will become available for sale and which will be produced in Aguascalientes. Where's the car? ja ja ja

    [​IMG]

    Aerial photo of the Nissan plant located just outside of the city, which by the way is the largest Nissan plant in the Americas. There are also canchas de futbol down there somewhere for use by the employees.

    Noches Bohemias - dinner show

    El Andador (looking towards Hotel Fiesta Americana), becomes very crowded at night with people dancing to music played by strolling mariachis and bandas aka tambarazos.

    It is said that every street in Aguascalientes has at least one OXXO and one HSBC bank.

    aguascalientes is pretty nice and all but the one thing that i do hate is the traffic, it always seems like i get stuck in traffic driving through there and I always seem to get lost when trying to get to Jalisco.

    Chivasporas, make sure to turn the map rightside up next time, maybe you had the map upside down the last time you got lost in Aguascalientes. :D

    Aguascalientes is known for having some of the best maintained roads in the country.

    The current govenor has invested heavily to improve traffic flow in and around the city. This is a good thing, as it will make daily commutes much more pleasurable. It seems that a new desnivel and or vueltas inglesas is being built daily.

    El gobierno del Estado tiene seis proyectos para construir igual número de «vueltas inglesas» en puntos estratégicos de la ciudad. Así lo confirmó a Reporte Político Policiaco el Secretario de Obras Públicas, el ingeniero Ricardo Magdaleno. Agregó que son «herencia» y señaló que en efecto, el crucero de flujo continuo (vuelta inglesa) está patentado, es una patente de un mexicano, del ingeniero `Francisco Mier, que ya se ha desarrollado en varios lugares de Estados Unidos, pero también en entidades de nuestro país como Ciudad Juárez, Monterrey, Saltillo, en la ciudad de México y ahora aquí, en Aguascalientes.

    Acerca del inventor de las «vueltas inglesas» que más bien debieran llamarse «vueltas mexicanas», el ingeniero Francisco Mier, es de Monterrey y tiene oficinas en la ciudad de México y en San Diego, California.

    Which direction are you traveling from when heading to Jalisco Chivasporas?

    The toll roads should keep you on track without getting lost. If you venture into the city, well that is another story...
