Patzcuaro

When we were there, our hotel mgr(returned to the States) did all day tours around the lake. Each of the little villages have their own trade. In one village, there is this well known artisan and Kathie bought one of his hand carved Madonna which is very beautiful which she cherishes. Another village is known for it's pottery and there is a historical site that over looks the town- if you are interested in history. The street leading to the church was lined with very inexpensive pottery(we got a set of bowls very cheap). Going into the church grounds and exiting on the right from the grounds, a short distance is a famous pottery artisan. Kathie bought one of his large vases with the history of Patzquaro around it and she got him to sign it. First time we did a day trip r/t from Ixstapa. Walking around the squares and enjoying the day made us want to rent a car and drive there. Funny thing, our a/c went out in the dessert on the way back, with Kathie in the back thinking we were to cold, we had turned it down. As it turned our the a/c unit had frozen up and by the time we hit the coast road everything was fine.
