We were really surprised by how much we liked Guadalajara. Could have been the good weather or the Christmas decorations but the Centro was really nice to walk around. Very European and modern but with a distinct flavor of Mexico. Read the whole story on the blog in Guadalajara.
And Patzcuaro had the same charm in a smaller package. Two sleepy central plazas with a great market and stores selling handicrafts from the villages surrounding Lago Patzcuaro. Christmas preparations and Virgin of Guadalupe celebrations in full swing plus a nice campgound. We highly recommend it but be ready for chilly nights in Winter. Easy to make a day trip up to Morelia though you might want to read our impressions first. Read the whole story on the blog in Patzcuaro and Morelia.
It's been an eye opener spending time in Colonial Mexico. Not the sombreros and burros people tend to think about. And wait til you read about Guanajuato and San Miguel Allende coming up next!
Note: Check out Where have we been? and Where are we now? on our site for GPS tracks and current SPOT location.
