Sickness Strikes
Well, both Em and I are coming down with nasty illnesses. My throat is starting to kill me. Luckily, Em brought some vitamin c drops with Echinacea and zinc which are helping me to fight off this cold. Em is getting hit with a double-whammy. Not only does she have a fever and a sore throat but sheｴs having stomach problems. We knew this would happen eventually.
We switched hotels to a place on the plaza, which will hopefully be a bit more quiet than the little place we were in last night where the night watchman had a special love for ranchero music. Today we rested as we are trying to recover before the wedding on Saturday. Pátzcuaro is beautiful. Very different looking from colorful little Guanajuato, though. Here, all the buildings in town look exactly the same from the outside. All are whitewashed with a stripe of brick red along the bottom. From the outside the only way you can tell a butcher's shop from a florist is their business name written in small red and black letters above the door.
Tonight for dinner I ate about 200 little fish called charales. Not sure they were the best thing for my sore throat but they were the regional specialty and rather tasty.
