Passing through Catemaco


WOW!! This has to be some of the most beautiful land I
have seen in Mexico.....Water everywhere....and stuff growing on every inch of it!!
This is a tobacco drying house though it is not the season now. We pass through the town of Catemaco on a very large crater lake. Catemaco has a reputation of harboring witches and black magic....with a strong influence of Cuba's santerias and Haiti's voodoo brought by many slaves to the area, though I think now it is mostly a tourist phenomenon. We will return here several times over the next few days for various reasons.
