We had a wonderful Christmas celebration in Mexico with the family. While we spent a fair amount of time on the coast in Manzanillo, we spent Christmas upcountry in Patzcuaro. This is a lovely village, near Lake Patzcuaro. Around the lake are several villages, each of which specializes in a particular craft: ceramics, copper, masks, reeds/weaving, etc.

Check out the video. We recommend traveling to Michoacan. I look forward to returning soon!

Hosts Christina Sandoval and Eva Halpern really do a good job at this B-n-B in Patzcuaro. We rented the big three-bedroom home in their five-acre walled garden for $140 per night, plus $20 for an extra person: total $160 per night. A super deal, IMHO.

In addition to the fancy digs, they serve up a sumptuous breakfast each morning. Check out the video–then make the trip! Their website is down, but just google “Casa Werma Patzcuaro” and you can read the reviews on Trip Advisor, etc. That reminds me…I need to post one of my own reviews!
