I had not realized that the rooms I booked included full board. Consequently, we did not sample any of the apparently very few local establishments. The food was a big production, not standard Mexican fare, surprisingly delicious, and included vegetables! There were lots of tour groups (mostly people from Mexico City) coming in and out for one night stays at the hotel during the three nights we were there; our small group was an anomaly in this respect. We took a nice walk with Juan, a local guide. Two little boys scraped together some horses for us to ride one afternoon. We enjoyed soaking in the jacuzzi in the evening. We were there just before Easter, so there was a little carnival/market in the town square. We visited the mission school where the few tiny pupils remaining during Easter break were excited about watching a movie that they told us was to be about princesses.
the old, restored hotel is lovely, and, though the trees and bushes weren't in bloom or leaf'ed, we enjoyed watching the workers prepare the vineyards for this coming season's grapes. the tour to cerro de gallego resulted in a breathtaking experience and though the meals weren't over-the-top marvelous, they were very nicely presented and tasty. the wait-staff needs a bit of polishing but all were friendly and accommodating. the town square is beside the hotel and it was entertaining to buy a soda in the local shop and just "people watch" in the late afternoon. we were reminded of small time life of 50 years ago just by observing people's comings and goings. a resident "tour guide" is don juan. he guarantees you he is a local and has endless tales to spin. he readily leads tours to cascada cerocahui, talking about local personalities, flora and fauna on the way. there's no internet, limited cell phone service and no nightlife, but the surroundings are so interesting, one hardly misses it. it was wonderful having the opportunity to remember how we did things before the internet took over. and they make their own wine!
