YURURIA: a simple Mexican town

My visit to Yuriria to see the ex-convent and church was just the antidote I needed for the gringo-packed streets of San Miguel.    It is a small town that seems to just go about it's business.  It's old architecture is not protected as it is in San Miguel so one sees old and new next to each other.  It has a gentle pace and serenity that are no longer the norm in San Miguel and I found it very appealing.
I don't think we saw any foreigners at all.

 this circular lake fills a volcano crater:  many modest homes dot the steep hills above it
