Pátzcuaro day of the dead

We have flown into Morelia on a direct flight from O'Hare(there was a discount air line that flew from Midway) a couple of times. Very small airport and the Taxi Union has the air port locked up like in "Z"- our driver had to pick us up in his wife's car and he was still given a hard time because of doing tours using his taxi. One time we stayed in Morelia at a B&B and had a taxi/tour guide give us a tour of the small towns between Morelia and Patzquaro and the 2nd time did the butterfly reserve. For the Day of the Dead it may be very hard to get hotel reservations unless you have them. There is so much to see in the Old part of Morelia- we love both with Morelia has more to offer. When flying into Morelia, we take the 7 am express to "Z" and can get off in Ixtapa.
