Re: mexico
Julio, Pátzcuaro is my favorite city in Mexico.
Don't be afraid to look for a room around the lake. I was there years ago during a Rocio Durcal concert, and the entire city was booked. Down at the lake, I found a wonderful room in a semi-deserted hotel. I think there was one other guest there. One morning I got a craving for an American-style breakfast and I told the owner/cook I was going to fix breakfast for him. To my surprise, he had the best French toast recipe I'd ever eaten, something he'd picked up from another guest from the US. Oh, and the room was quite inexpensive. I think I could catch a bus into Pátzcuaro (10 minutes?) for about USD$0.10 and a taxi would take me back to the lake at night for around USD$2.00. And Pátzcuaro has the best bread, the best soups... It's also a good base for visiting Santa Clara del Cobre, Quiroga, Zamora, etc. And the lacquerwares. And Indian market day! What a nice city!
