Where John Ross breathed his last?<br /><br />Steve has apparently not yet come to grips with the <i>trabalenguas</i> names of local places: besides Ihuatzio, there's Cucuchucho; and the ultimate, Ucazanasatacua. Not to mention Tzintzuntzan and Tzintzuntzita.<br />That is also one of my favorite areas of the lakeshore.<br /><br />On the north shore of the lake, about San Jerónimo Purenchecuaro is the hilltop Restaurante y Cabañas Sandio, which Felipe Zapata,in an earlier life once called "the most beautiful view in the world", or words to that effect. It is truly a beautiful view.<br /><br />Saludos, Don CuevasDonCuevasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-31581185528925561362012-10-01T06:39:03.792-05:002012-10-01T06:39:03.792-05:00Yikes - that Coke sign is like everything else abo...Yikes - that Coke sign is like everything else about Coke - AWFUL!John Calypsohttp://vivaveracruz.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-73932762886482506982012-09-30T21:17:14.908-05:002012-09-30T21:17:14.908-05:00 Gracias, señor.

Out at my friend's b&b, with a view of the lake is a lovely, not quiet, place to stay. Why not quiet, you ask? Because cows, horses, donkeys, pigs, roosters and whatever else is out there make noises all night long! It is SO beautiful however.Babsofsanmiguelnoreply@blogger.com
