"if you eat slow you can fit it all"

David the taxi driver picked us up at eleven and took us to Uruapan. He explained that there was direct buses from Uruapan to Lazaro Cardenas or we could catch the bus from Patzcuaro and switch buses. We decided to stop at the bus depot and buy our tickets for tomorrow and get David to give us a ride to Uruapan in the morning. After the bus depot we went to the National park. The landscape changes between Patzcuaro and Uruapan from mountain pine forest to tropical rain forest. The National Park was a labyrinth of cobblestone paths winding through a forest and following a crystal clear creek complete with waterfalls stone bridges. There were man made canals following the paths and the odd fountain as well. In the center of the park there is a trout hatchery.







After the park we asked David to take us for lunch. He took us to a restaurant called Lindo Michoacan. He showed us a dinner for three on the menu of mostly seafood and lakefish for 480 pesos. The biggest selling feature was the 20 250ml bottles of Corona included. We finished all the beer but didn't even come close to finishing all the food. By the time the oysters showed up I was full and there was still three or four dishes to go.
