Ok so I left Zihua yesterday. I miss it already! There was something about the place that I really loved. It was so relaxed, and living in the Mexican part of town was brilliant. I miss the beach a lot, the sea just seems to call to you all day. The touristy areas werent as nice but most people stayed out of there and just lazed on the beaches and swam in the gorgeous clear water. It was weird heading inland. I was gonna head to Barra de Navidad which is another beach further North up the coast road but it turned out that the bus was at 8pm at night and I couldnt be bothered to kick my heels for 9 hours so I got the next bus out which was going to Morelia. Its the complete opposite way to which I was headed but ho hum, can always go to beaches on the east coast! Morelia is really nice, its like Patzcuaro but a bit bigger! All the buildings are made of red stone and there is an amazing Cathdral in the main Zocalo. I got here last night and was pretty knackered, the bus journey was only 5 hours but i takes it out of you! Went to the nearby cafe and had some really good coffee and wolfed down a fantastic sandwhich. Am staying in a very cheap but nice hostal and as I got back as LA Confidential was starting on TV! In English! Bliss!
Am doing my washing today as I havent fone it since I left the farm and its starting to smell a bit as it is jammed in my compression sack in my rucksack! Also walked past a cinema today so might drop in there and catch a movie. Having said that Morelia has about 50 museums so I should try and go to those really!
On a seperate note my nail has fallen off. Ive also realised that by saying that i forgot to mention that when I was on the farm I had an incident with an electric saw. The saw was kinda jumpy and when I was cutting some firewood it caught in the wood and slammed my hand into the metal guard. My middle finger nail immediately went dark black and it hurt like hell! Also my finger swelled up to about 3 times its usual size! After much swearing and kicking and berating of the saw I soaked my finger in cold and hot water and it was fine. But yeh the nail finally came off yesterday. Ugh!

Ahhhh as accident prone as our lovely Baba! xxxxxxxxxx
You do know it takes about 4-6 months for the new nail to grow? In the meantime, keep your finger clean and dry. And for crying out loud, don't go near any more electric saws!! You know you don't have adequate hand-eye coordination to use them!
