THE FIRST VIDEO shows pre-Hispanic, indigenous ruins that remain near where I now live. It’s about a 20-minute drive away.
The second is the nearby state capital. The park where the video takes off is about a five-minute walk from where I lived my first eight months in Mexico, from January to September of 2000.
I often sat alone on a bench in that small park with an ice cream cone and wondered what the devil I had done to myself.
But it all ended well.
The ultimate end has not yet arrived. Good choices, it appears you have excelled in later life at making them.
Felicidades, señor!

Yep, Ricardo. All’s well that ends well, as someone once said.

Thanks for the videos. I am quite fond of Tzintzuntzan with the mysteries of both its architecture and the origins of the Purepecha language.

I have been to both places, and wonder why there wasn’t a well developed society north of the New Mexico/Arizona area. The (excuse my political correctness) indigenous people in the areas north of there were mostly nomadic.

Kris: I have two legs, and you may pull either of them.
Yes, there was quite a contrast between the Injuns down here and the Injuns up there. Wonder why.

I didn’t have enough time in Tzintzuntzan, spent most of it in the old Franciscan museum. I’ll need to go back.

We were there early this year with family and really enjoyed the ruins, Morelia and Pátzcuaro very much! I think my husband was the only Americano there!

Sylvia: It’s a good area to visit in part because it’s not overrun with Gringos like San Miguel and Ajijic.
Feel free to visit again. Bring your hubby!
