Patzcuaro

We went to Patzcuaro last Monday. Unbeknownst to us, a Three Kings festival was in full swing. Streets and plazas were plugged with stalls selling all kinds of stuff and we shuffled our way through literally thousands of people to our hotel on Plaza Vasco de Quiroga (sp?). It was all pretty cool, with the exception of the godawful noise emanating from a stage a block away from the Posada de San Rafael. A pleasant, clean and comfortable place to stay for about US$40.00. They put us in rooms as far away from the racket as possible and we slept well. The trip was particularly enjoyable, as we brought Mexican friends from Anchorage with us, who had never been in that part of the country.
