I stayed at the Hotel Seville in Guadalajara which is a two to three star hotel for $14 US except that it's between the three loud gay clubs in town. When I parked guys came up to me and shouted welcome and I thought it was the friendliest city ever but then I saw the trans and I realized the cause of the hospitality. Mind you Guadalajara is most hospitable but straight people don't run up to me and say welcome. I got off at Hidalgo metro in DF and this guy came up to me, very smart guy who was fluent in English and we hung out, but I realized later that was a pick up. He was staying at his sister's high rise which had a wonderful Francisco Toledo of which he said "isn't it erotic?" He wanted to buy dinner and I worked into the conversation that I was straight but he insisted and we went to one of those very nice $4 places, perhaps he wanted the others there to see him with a blue eyed gringo or he didn't want to be rude.. nice fellow and pleasant company. In Zacatecas a Mexican girl that had lived in Arkansas sat down w me at one of those nice $4 tablecloth places in the book, looked at the prices on the menu "are you sure?" As I had suspected all the spark was gone when she wasn't playing me off the entry level Aussie diplomat. The shock for me came when the McDonald's bill in Texas came to $6.
