Final Destination - Santa Clara del Cobre

Here we are at the ranch outside of Santa Clara del Cobre that is about 40 minutes from Patzcuaro.  You may be wondering how we found this housesitting job.  Paula and Jerry were in Patzcuaro for a few weeks before heading home.  They met Marti and Tonio at a party slash happy hour.   They mentioned they were looking for housesitters for their trip to Canada for the summer.   We exchanged emails, chatted on line a couple of times and, well, here we are

This is the driveway to the house.  There are outbuildings, horse barn, and a cabin that is on the property of 10 acres.  It has great energy, it is very quiet and there is forest all around.

On our trip from San Miguel de Allende, we took about 3.5 hours stopping along the roadside for a short 30 minute nap.  We found a typical roadside tree with a lot of shade.

This is  Lago Quitzao that is before Morelia near the rv park that we have all attempted to get to and only a few have actually found.  Years ago, when we attempted to find it, we ended up being guided by Federales to a water park where we spent a wonderful evening.

You can see that Santa Clara is very similar in architecture to Mazamitla.  Same wooden vigas and roofs, with tile roofs and wooden columns.

This church is a great example of the use of wood.  You see it both in the ceiling as well as the floor.

So we have hit it off with the owners, they are lovely people and have three dogs; Charlie, Megan and Sam.   Tomorrow we meet the horses.   This is a very magical place.  More to come as the days go by.
