Nice photo Simon, as always, and it does tell a story. Yes. I bought my first guitar in Paracho after a perilous and adventurous trip when I was 19. In 2006 I went to Morelia, one of the world's most beautiful cities. After several relaxing days, I rented a car and drove to Patzcuaro over the excellent new road. I'm not very religious, but if any place embodies someone's spirit, it is Patzcuaro for don Vasco de Quiroga, the first bishop of Michoacan, a truly admirable man. Then I said to myself, well, it's just a short drive to Uruapan. There's supposed to be a very nice hotel there. Indeed there was--an excellent restaurant as well. Of course it's only 30 km from Uruapan to Paracho, though the road is steeply mountainous and heavy with dangerous traffic. So I drove to Paracho, just to look around for old times' sake, visit Navarro, Castillo, Huipe and Abel Garcia--not to buy a guitar of course, just to visit. I bought two. RNJ
