Janitzio






On Wednesday, we went to the Island town Janitzio on lake Pátzcuaro. We hiked up the hill and climbed all the way to the tippy top of the statue. It had stairs inside, don't worry. The space at the top was tiny, and to see out, we had to step up on a ledge and poke our heads through about a foot of space. We were all crammed in there. Then we took came down and took pictures in front of the statue. It was cool. I wish I could have stayed up there to look longer, but there were a lot of people waiting, so I didn't. 

I haven't really figured out the best way to post pictures on here yet. Here's a list of captions... in reverse order
1. Janitzio from the boat.
2. The view of the top of the island from the top of the statue.
3. "Team Morelia" in front of the statue. Christian was not into the pose. 
4. Me with lake Pátzcuaro in the background.
5. A snippet of the many vender tents on the road to the statue.

  1. Peter Bruce is dumb.

    Abby Fish is awesome. Her blog is legit. The real deal. She doesn't need to spam other peoples' sites to get people to read it.

    The weather looks nice. The lake... not so much. Looks a little murky. I hope you didn't go swimming.

    The marketplace shot reminds me of Cuernavaca. I bought that white shirt from a display just like that.
