couchsurfing... !!!!que chido¡¡¡

So ever since sonya and I left our place at the hostal, we met up with an online couchsurfing.com friend to stay at his casa. (which we plan to do through as much of our trip as we can) His name is Salvador, aka Chava, and we have our own private room on top of the house above everything else. A gorgeous open air stairway leads to seperate rooms where his brothers and mothers live and right above us is where his five schnausers live. Chava and his family have been more than accomadating, including us in large family meals, going to the movies with us and last night we went to a pretty young, hip joint where there was live music. We have to sneak around to help out with chores because they will barely let us lift a finger when they are around.

Since weve been here, the morelia internacional film festival has begun and the other night we caught a pretty good independent mexican film. Dolor, Amor, y vice versa... check it out.

We got introduced to many of Chavas friend, including some rastas who are playing a show with Max Romeo in D.F. on dia de los muertos!!! Mao, one of the guys, works at Morelias nicest tattoo shop, whree i got some amber plugs with skulls on them. Some of the nicest people I have come acrross while weve been here.

Mañana were heading off to a town on Lake Patzcuaro to camp with other couchsurfers from around the region. Itll be good to meet other péople involved in the online community and when we return to morelia we will have a new host to stay with. After that it is probably off to patzcuaro to camp or couchsurf in the city. Everything is all up in the air and playing it by ear is working out well.

Oh and one more thing... the food is MUY SABROSA!!!!!!! y muy barato. we went to the market, got veggies, juice, milk, tortillas, beans, and other small snacks for less than 7 dollars!!!!!

Until nexttime
CIAO
