We just returned to Oregon from a Thanksgiving visit to Seatle to find several very helpful responses to my query about logistics and destinations around Guadalajara, Mexico. (In Seatle we visited both the Experience Music Project designed by architect Frank Gehry of the Bilbao Guggenheim and Seatle's new public library... the work of Rem Koolhaas and his Office for Metropolitan Architecture. I believe both buildings are important monuments to progressive design)

We are now left with the pleasure of pulling a trip together from your advice and from the recommended texts. I'm sure to be back in touch we new questions.
