Not Again....

_17 February 2010 After arriving and setting up the afternoon of the 15th in Jocotepec, we were driven into town by Candy and Tom.  We had originally met Candy and Tom at the campground in Alamos and were quite surprised when we pulled up next to them today.  By the way, our GPS position for Google Earth is:  20.26664N,  103.42148W

We had originally planned to walk into town but Candy told us that they were just heading that way and they would love to show us a little of the town before they continue on to their destination…what could we say, “that really sounds great”, besides that would save us about a 45 minute walk.  The last time we were in Jocotepec was in 1990 with Bon and Doug.  Some of the town was so familiar and most of it was totally new.  We walked the market place, around some of the streets, and then out to the Plaza.  We were getting hungry and we knew that there must be a place on the Plaza that would fix our needs.  Sitting under one of the arched passageways was a place where we ate the last time we were here, although I’m sure that it wasn’t the “same place” as people and businesses move on.  This little restaurant offered a local dish called Birria which turned out to be goat meat in a “soupy” chili-de arbol (red sauce).  Served alongside we received a thicker tortilla than normal.  I used the tortilla to dunk into the sauce and Louise used it the correct way…taking the meat out of the “arbol” and placing it on the tortilla with a splash of lime.  I found this lunch to be really good, but for Louise it just wasn’t what she would have preferred.  I must tell you that I even finished her dish…  Lou’s hair had gotten to the point that she really needed a cut so we went looking for a local hairdresser to do the work.  We had no sooner left the salon and Louise started feeling lightheaded and nauseous.  Not this again, this was the 3rd time and she was just about ready to throw the towel in.  We hurriedly found a cab that could rush us back to the motor home so that she could “suffer” in her own place and not in public.  Well that night and the next day wasn’t wonderful but the 3rd morning she felt well enough that we decided to move onto our next destination.  The campground here in Jocatepec

_was very nice, treed, wi-fi, 30amp service, quiet, and close enough and yet far enough to town that you got a good hike in getting there and back.  I made 2 more hikes into town after the first afternoon to do some shopping and while I was there I took a glance into the church on the plaza.

_As I mentioned earlier, we did recognize some of Jocatepec and this church was one that I really enjoyed seeing again.  Next time we’ll have to make it to the church before Louise gets something to eat…
