Can't Capture Mexico in a Blog Photo

Cat Herder keeps adding photos, then taking them down.  This web-log delivery method does not do justice to the many photos we've taken to capture this diverse tour through Mexico.

Laguna Santa Maria del Oro has given us great food and lodging, a water taxi ride across a volcanic crater lake with Sergio, and many fruitless attempts to capture a good picture of the resident (and h-u-g-e!) iguanas.  Today was one of those rare "forced" days of relaxation for everyone.  Mike ALMOST finished an entire book, Ginny sent out her laundry for a whopping $3 fee, Laura and Ed kayaked the lake, and some of us laughed and cursed the uncomfortable bicycle ride through these cobble-stoned streets (jack hammer on wheels?)

The "gang of twelve" enjoyed another starry night of cerveza Pacifico, regional food like chicarron de pescado, good company, and much laughter.
