Mexico 2008, Camecuaro and Zamora

This was a small lake fed by the water that bubbles up above here.
Marisol (Chayo's sister in law) We enjoyed being with her. She couldn't understand hardly any English, but with our little Spanish and many translators we seemed able to enjoy each other.

Lupita (Chayo's sister) and her husband, Tony.


We were rowed around in one of the boats above. Chayo's brother, Fernando, and his friend rowed us one way, and Marisol and Angel (Chayo's brother, and lucky husband of Marisol) the other way. Dale was trying to take his turn, but Marisol insisted. A smile was on her face the whole time. What a relaxing way to travel.



One place I loved when we went to Argentina and Spain were the Cathedrals. Mexico is not without their beautiful ones also. This one in Zamora spent many years without the spires. About twenty years ago they started finishing it. It is absolutely beautiful.

The pipes for the organ were kind of reminiscent of other pipes I have seen.
The stained glass windows were beautiful with signs explaining their significance. Of course, it was all in Spanish. We figured out a few.


Can you tell we loved the land and the people we were with?
