Inland to Colima

We decided that we needed an inland fix so we rented a car and drove to the town of Colima, which is the State Capitol of the State of Colima. The contrast between inland towns and coastal towns is dramatic. Inland towns are less "touristy" and there seems to be a more normal life. The other contrast is well paved streets, clean cars and finished buildings. Our regret is that we didn't allow more time to explore.
The above picture is apparently a celebration for this old gentleman's birthday. He appeared to be 100! He was laughing, singing and drinking Corona!

Here is a closer picture of him.

The murals on the wall of the Federal Building were simply amazing. This is a staircase up to the second floor.

Here is the courtyard at the Federal Building.

And here is the exterior.

The architecture was beautiful, as were the many town squares. There is a lot of pride in the community here.


The Cathedral. Beautiful.

Inside the Cathedral. There seems to be continuous services at the Church's.

Another Town Square. The landscaping is elaborate and well maintained.


We will spare you the food picture, but we are here across from the Square.
