Buenos Tardes, Bill! Patzcuaro Se Ve Fantastico!! If you asked someone born and raised in the USA (like myself) to guess that location, they'd probably say somewhere in Europe. It looks like Spain or Portugal. Thanks so much for sharing the "real" Mexico ... not just the tourist locations or places commonly seen on TV.
Howdy Buck, Yeap, that is what was going through my mind the whole time I was walking around, ¨This looks so European.¨ The little clean streets and the nice little shops and places to eat everywhere and the hotels. I was really awesome. Best, Bill
❤❤❤😂 my Mexican hometown I lived there for about 18 months in the 90s. Unlike many places it hasn't changed at all in the centre. Loved it then and love it now. I was last there in 2017. Hope to get back next year. Thank you for this delightful little tour
Hi Bill, great video. I just missed you, I was there 2 weeks ago for 3 days. I loved it too. I definitely could live there. It's got a small town feel but has plenty of cultural and artistic venues, great Mexican food and some nice eclectic eateries too. I saw no foreign tourists while I was there, met an Argentinian immigrant, Maximo, an artist who owns a gallery. The Jacaranda Cultural Center just off the main plaza is a great, casual place to hang out, they show movies, have a cafe, and friendly people.
Do you see cows walking by. I remembered being there in the late 80s and a small heard of cow were walking to their destination. I remembered the cobble stone streets with,I get green moss. I also remembered it wasn't too far from some water fountain.
@@sky-pv7ff ! Hasn't changed much. I live in a fairly nice area in the hillside on the other side of the city from the Estribo, the extinct volcano. Up until about 5 years ago, cows would invade the neighborhood and leave big piles on the streets. And old women would graze their goats here. Now there are many houses. Working horses are still common.
I've lived in Patz for years. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll freeze your keister off here in January, February and also at times late December and on into March. And there is no central heating. We are over a thousand feet higher than Morelia, and it makes a big difference.
Actually it is cooler than Morelia. Morelia is a 1,000 feet lower. Makes a big difference. It gets cold at night in the winter. But the days in the winter are springlike. Like the rest of Mexico, it rains a lot in the summer, but the nights are not cold.
i just had a brief stay there , and only hung out in the plaza, but i look forward to moving around a little more like you were doing when i get there in october. im wondering how late the buses run back to morelia from there.
Howdy Mary, With Spanish, I think that you learn as you move ahead. Learn some basic things like, Where is this, Where is that. How much does this cost? What is this? Do you speak English? I don´t understand. I think you will be fine, just be patient with yourself. I would give yourself a good run down on understanding numbers. 5 pesos, 20 pesos, 100 pesos, 1,000 pesos, 500 pesos, Learn to say and HEAR all of these in your mind. Don´t let the language hold you back. Learn as you go and enjoy. Best, Bill
As always, a great video with helpful information. I always enjoy your videos and their content. Any plans to do videos about living on the Caribbean coast? Thanks again 👍🏻👏🏻✌🏻🤙🏻
Wow two hundred bucks a month I could afford that. What about getting around? I wont have a car just me and my little bag, senior lady, retired. Thanks
I was there the first week of September. It was a little chilly in the morning, but by 11am I had a t shirt on. The winters are a little chilly in the night, but the days are nice and warm with no humidity.
I enjoyed your country for 40 years , now you are more that welcome to my country 🙏🏻God blessyou !!
Wow, thank you

What a lovely town. I really enjoyed watching this video. I would love to be able to go visit there one day. You did it again, sir. Grace and peace ✌🏾
Same!
I told you about Patzcuaro about a month ago! Have lived there 11 years! Won't leave!

Thank you! Look for central heating!
Wow. Looks like an amazing place - definately on the list of places to visit from Morelia. TFS!
Please do!

Good question, I will ask next time I am at the bus station.
I love it there.
Me Too!!!!
Thanks Bill. I live in Chapala now and am planning a exploring trip early next year. My Spanish is very limited will l have problems?

Stay tuned.

I did not have a car, and I had no problem. Everything was within walking distance. There are lots of buses and taxis everywhere.
When did you film this? I see several people wearing jackets. What’s the weather like there this time of year?
I was there the first week of September. It was a little chilly in the morning, but by 11am I had a t shirt on. The winters are a little chilly in the night, but the days are nice and warm with no humidity.
I can see that the people including yourself have jackets and coats , how is the climate?
It was a little chilly in the morning but in the day, it was perfect.
I think taxi drivers might know more than you think, cause they meet so many different people?
yup and the mail man
I totally agree with you. Taxi drivers all over the world no everything.
@@BillDallasLewis Again you're right they NO everything and at the same time nothing.
I liked your video, but it really sounds like you are saying Moravia, not Morelia...
Poor Man's San Miguel de Allende. 😂
Both places are very rich.
