Patzcuaro is a small town on the shore of Lake Patzcuaro. In the lake is an island called Janitzio, where there are very popular day of the dead celebrations. This is the first time I've staying in one place this long, and it's a nice respite from driving.
The campsite/RV park/motel is a family affair. I talked to Arturo, who speaks very good english. He showed me where to park Vandrew, and took my money. Unfortunately, the WiFi didn't work the whole time I was in Patzcuaro, so I used that as an excuse not to blog.
The town of Patzcuaro was really gearing up for the Day of the Dead celebrations, and the campsite is located about equidistant between the town square and the water taxi to the island of Janitzio. The town center seemed to be turned into one big market, with bands and art and exhibitions as well as sugar skull and day of the dead paraphernalia and food being sold.

The campsite, soon after I arrived, with my new friends Ed and Melissa, from New Mexico.

Glad to hear you and Vandrew are alive and kickin'. A minor complaint, though: No Panono pics? Hopefully you didn't have to sell it to pay the bribes??
ReplyDeleteThat was the other hold up...I ended up posting from my phone because I can't find decent wifi. Panono pics are so labor intensive!
DeleteI'll go back out to the island with the ball camera another day.
I want you to know I'm reading these. And holding my breath...🙃😘
ReplyDeleteRead fast then! I l don't want you to suffocate!
DeleteFingers crossed that you stay safe. And get to keep more of your money.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Cautiously optimistic that if I stay away from the big cities, I'll minimize my chances of getting pulled over...
DeleteChickens. You can pay off the Policia with a live chicken. Imagine all the $$ you'll save.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather pay a million pesos than give up Ellie-May or Doreen!
