When The Great Spirit Frog created Guanjuato, the land was still soft and wet from the rains. He filled a giant bag made of corn husks with stones of every color. He took this bag and sprinkled the stones out over the mountains. When he had finished, the stones had transformed into houses. From afar, each hill looked like a mouthful of crooked, colored teeth. The Great Spirit Frog had an enthusiastic sense of creativity and wanted people to live in these homes. So he invited them and when they came, he told them they were in Guanajuato, the place of frogs and hills.

What a beautiful photo and tale. Aren’t you glad the Great Spirit Frog invited us to live in his chiclet houses!
