Call it "adult gap year", career break or mid life crisis, but the house is sold, possessions in store,sold, on loan, given or thrown away, many parties had and our old life on hold.

Ceiling in the Palacio de Justicia stairway

Palacio de Justicia, Morelia

A Donald Trump Pinata ....

Swinging gently in the warm breeze.

Humming Bird outside our Rig

Everyday he came to the plant next to our Rig, took ages stripping fluffy stuff from the leaves then dropped it.

Tower and Saint of Basilica Menor de Durango

A cure for everything on this stall

Stairwell art Palacio de Justicia

And another guitar shop.......

Tingambato Pyramid

We were the only people there.

View from window!

Not quite the ocean view I ordered. That's the side of the truck parked next to us

Pancho's gun

Interesting floor in Museum.

I thought the lines in the centre were for decoration but they are actually cow ankle bones and used for scraping shoe soles clean before entering a room.

The Cat on the Hat

Cat Purrfectly disguised as a hat.

Sunrise at Lake Chapala

View from our Rig the day we left.

Paracutin

More Ajijic wall art.

Lake Chapala

Pretty Mexican Bride in Durango

Paracutin horse art.

Uruapan

It was difficult to believe this park is just a km from the main plaza.

Fabulous hand made Mexican saddles.

You can have one any colour / design you want. I saw a very attractive one in pink.

I met Geronimo Amezcua Reyes in the early 1960's. I drove to Paracho from San Francisco, Ca to purchase a guitar from his store, La Casa de las Guitars".
Does his business still exist? I would like to visit Parch again soon.

I met this gentleman in the 1960's. He owned a guitar store called La Casa De Las Guitarras". I am wondering if his family continued on with the business?
