Hmmm so a lot has happened in the past few days. Since Mark left, I have been busy working and entertaining my Dad and our family friend Willis (who lives in Guanajuato). My dad flew in Wednesday into Guanajuato and then drove into Patzcuaro Saturday afternoon.
On Saturday we explored the Patzcuaro and drove up Estribo to the look out (See picture above).
Yesterday in the morning we drove to Cuanajo- a town famous for hand painted furniture and then to Capula- a town famous for the Catrina dolls (See above) and pottery. We were lucky enough to come into town when they were having an artisan festival so we got to see lots of examples of hand painted pottery and Catrinas. It was all so beautiful! I wish pottery was easier to get home!
On the way home we stopped at a roadside eatery between Quiroga and Capula. It was full of people (usually a good sign) but I am pretty sure that is where I got food poisoning. About 40 minutes after we ate I got pretty sick... which continued until about 10:00 last night. Vomiting, diarrhea, chills, stomach cramps... food poisoning is terrible! Thank goodness I feel better this morning.
In other news I found a puppy in my yard this morning (See picture above)!I woke up at at around 7am with a dog outside yoweling at the top its lungs. I finally got fed up, so I went outside to see what was happening and there was a puppy in our laundry closet outside! I have no idea how it got there since we have fence around our yard... but I fed it and gave it a blanket to sleep on. A few hours later we decided that we should let it outside and hopefully it will find its way home. It was sooo cute. I was so sad to let it go... but it left our door about twenty minutes later so hopefully it found its way home.
Glad you're feeling better, but TMI.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know your dad was coming to visit! How's he handling the ascent to your house?
I hope you told the Catrina merchant about the high quality movie with his dear in a starring role.
