Guadalajara Book Fair 2006

The beginning of this month was a whirlwind of activity as we flew to Guadalajara, Mexico to exhibit our products at the annual FIL Book Fair.

The fair this year was at its best.

The hall was packed with excitement each day, from mariachi bands, thousands of visitors and even the Prince of Spain. France Gobeil, my trilingual assistant (Spanish, English and French) was a real godsend!

I was able to snap some photos of the historic city center and the beautiful foliage. In Mexico, flowers bloom all year long!
