roadtrip

We traveled four days thru Michoacan... Melina, Blanco, Ari and I.

It was a nice trip... a lot of things happened that can't be really summarized in a post. Good things, and not so good things. You get to know people better when you travel with them... Blanco I already knew so I learnt one thing and one thing only: women are weird. But we already know that.
+ Vista Hermosa - we drank water there
+ Zamora - we slept there in Maria Luisa's home, we ate tortas de la mancha, and we spent the evening drinking and talking.
+ Ixtlan de los Hervores - we saw the geyser... i think it was the first time Ari ever saw one.
+ Camecuaro - we spent a couple of hours there, enjoying the lake and taking pics.
+ Quiroga - we spent a lot of time looking for a parking place, walk around and ate some carnitas.
+ Morelia - We slept two nights there in Tomas' home (huge place and a great host), walked a lot and take lots of pictures... downtown is really beautifil
+ Patzcuaro - spent most of the day there, walking, traveling by boat and getting pissed off by my nagging companions. A good day though.
+ Janitzio - Climbed the stairs and enjoy the view with a nice beer ^-^
+ Tzintzuntzan - discoverd that Ari is not only a bad person but cheap too. A good place and good pictures in the "pyramids" ruins
+ Zirahuen - a awesome dinner... we had a lot of food for 40 pesos. ñam ñam... a pretty lake, it was a shame that we arrived too late to enjoy it.
+ Uruapan - We basically just drove by and saw the AGUACATES trees... hehehe sounds much better in spanish
+ San Juan Nuevo - kinda ugly, we stop there for directions
+ San Juan Viejo (the ruins) - a fun drive (30 km in a shitty road that took us lot of time). But the ruins we GREAT... man I love jumping around in ruins and volcanic rocks.
+ Paracho - Just stopped there for a few minutes.. again... Ari is a bad person.

... and lots of little towns that we only saw while driving. We slept in Zamora and Morelia.

I dunno... i could go on and on... but all I can say is that Michoacan is really beautiful and their people really kind.

Cheers people.. if I ever learn how to post pics here I will.
