We began the day in Zacán and continued onto lunch in Angahuan. In between, we had a fabulous viewing of the Michoacán-Guanajuato volcano.

We visited Tzintzuntzan, the capital of the Purépecha empire and the center of Don Vasco’s Utopian project, which showcased architecture, pyramids, and crafts.
The energy and crowds at Santa María Huiramangaro seemed a bit overwhelming at one point, so I took my camera and wandered the streets and alleys. After the sweet pastorela of San Pedro Pareo, we learned how to make mezcal – and tasted it, of course!

We visited Santa Fe de la Laguna twice, once during the day at the beginning of our trip and again at night at the end of our journey. Following visiting a master mask-maker’s studio and eating a delicious lunch prepared by his wife, we headed to Sevina for its pastorela.

Yes, I love doorways, arches, and windows.
