em and i made some discoveries about the river here. over the weekend we went on a wild goose chase that led us to a hotel called "Real de Minas" where a bellboy took us on a walk through the neighborhood and into an underground cavern where it is possible to see the rio gto. the river in guanajuato has been buried since the city was built and by now it's basically a sewer outlet for waste. i took a hike up into the mountains on sunday and go to the see the sunrise with a 360 view of the surrounding mountain range. there it was obvious that the water that comes into the guanajuato river is clean, it just gets polluted on it's way down either by the mines or by people using it for waste disposal.

That sounds great SusieLou. What has changed downstream? I'll have to check out a map 'cause I don't know MCO (Mexico).
