Cathedrals like this one (above) in Patzcuaro
are invariably packed on Sundays: morning and evening. Christmas cheer is certainly alive and well in Mexico (below).

Steffen and I met up in Zacatecas for
Christmas. That afternoon two folks from Seattle pulled up to the front door of the hotel on two Suzuki DR650 motos. We all
celebrated Christmas Mexican style with some rice and beans, salsa, guacamole, chicken, and some lentils all rolled up in
tortillas and washed down with Modelo cerveza and Kahlua. I have to admit this is the first Christmas that I've
spent in a $10 Mexican hotel cooking dinner on three camping stoves.
Before paying for a room, I always make
sure there's a safe place for the moto. Fortunately most people allow me to bring it into the lobby. I can't imagine what
this hotel manager was thinking when three more bikes arrived over the next two days. Fortunately he was in generous holiday
spirits, as all the lobby furniture had to be moved aside.
