Life goes on as it has for decades in this country. The new along with the old way of doing things.
I just came back from a trip to the south part of the country. The state of Michoacan and the city is Patzcuaro and famous for two main holidays in this county. People come to visit on Easter and Day of the Dead. The city is located near a large lake and volcanoes. Around the lake is small villages and each one is noted for a different craft. There are pyramids in one town by the name of Tzintzuntzan. Try and say that 10 times in a row. They are still working on the pyramid and finding more and more pieces as they dig. Transportation was on  a local bus out to Tzintzuntzan from Patzcuraro and the driver was so happy you would have thought he had not seen an American in his life.


Saturday was the day villagers came from all over and was setting up their ware's. Pots as big as stove's and  beautiful handcrafts. Some take months or more to make. They are truly amazing artisans
