    Colonial Tour

    We took the colonial tour in this port. It was a 1 1/2 hour drive out to Colima and it was very humid, so take a wash cloth from the room with you. Our first stop we could go with the tour guide or just walk on our own. That is  what we did. We walked to the church where there was a mass and then over to the museum and a few shops. There is a best western hotel there and you can use their bathrooms. Then we just sat down and had a beer while waiting for the rest of the tours to come back to the meeting area. Again, there were officers stopping traffic to let people cross the street. The police were also driving up and down the street in trucks with 4 armed officers in the back. Back on the bus to the ruins. We had a very good guide and he spoke about the finds. We climbed up  on some of them and went over to where they were doing further excavating. They had someone there to  keep back the tourists who wanted to jump into the site even after being warned they could not. there was a bathroom there too and it was being remodeled.

    The lunch we went to had authentic food and it was set up to deliver courses to each table. There were vendors that came in and offered goods at each table. And of course there was the recommended shop across the street. It was a bit to long of a stop even with the allowed shopping time. All of us were sitting on benches waiting for the bus and sweating.

    We didn't get to see the  volcano area and that was our main reason to go. Napped on the bus going back and never did cool down until we got into the pool later on.
