mi amigos


Too much going on to keep up. Friends from Tennessee came down to visit us for four days…an old buddy of mine from college, Art, and his cool family (Mary, Rachel, and Sarah). We had such a good time discovering new places, eating lots of ice cream and exploring the seemingly endless panaderias. Yum. We walked our legs off, rain or shine. Highlights included: trips to Juan Torres' home and studio; cemeteries and ghost stories around our fireplace; a day trip with an amazing guide thru Capula, Tzintzunzan, and Ihuatzio, winding along the lago de Patzcuaro towards a delicious comida at Camino Real; wading thru the mercado; sunsets on our rooftop; Nemo; and the enchanting sounds of Gas Express with a chorus of rooftop dogs singing throughout the night (thank God for earplugs). Our amigos set off this morning for Zihua. And I think they'll be back.
