Tonala


We called Suzanne's taxi driver in the morning, and he drove us to Tonala for 120 pesos. Tonala is one of handicraft centers of Mexico. We headed straight for the Sermel paper-mache shop. Beautiful work. Marianne spent all the pesos I had, but there was a nearby ATM. After a small lunch, we walked to highway, looking at pots as we went. We went as far as Marianne was willing to go, as the heat is hard on her, and caught a taxi home.

The pollution in the morning was very bad, helped by the forest fire, but better in the afternoon. We relaxed on the porch, and discussed what we wanted to do in the next few days. Paquita del Barrio is performing Saturday night; Richard has one of her albums, so we will go.
