This is such an exciting city and a real change from the peace of the ocean. The plazas are alive with people at all hours day and night and there is so much to do. We are staying at the Frances Hotel right on the main plaza. It is a nearly 400 year old colonial mansion that has been converted to a hotel. Last night we had a room in the wing by the disco that played loud music until 4:00 am. Finally turned on our fan to muffle the beat of the rhythms. Today we moved to a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking a pedestrain street. Our room is on the third floor and will be much better. It has a elegant courtyard lobby with live music every evening until about 11. We spent the day wandering the plazas listening to music and then several hours at the market wandering around looking at the produce and crafts and eating tacos and ice cream. Tomorrow we will do a day trip to Lake Chapala and Monday to Patzcuaro and Uruapan. For now planning to head to through Mexico City and on to Oaxaca for Carnival. We will see.
