Cuitzeo Also Has Its Share of Magic

Cuitzeo used to be the little town you had to go through to get to the balnearios at Huandacareo.  The least known of Michoacan's four "Pueblos Magicos" , I find its peacefulness and lack of tourists to be refreshing.  Even on the weekends you can just find a place to sit and watch life shuffle by.

You may not have known that today is World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, I didn´t either until I picked up the morning paper.  Reminded me of this photo taken on Lake Cuitzeo in Michoacán a couple years back, the western extremity completely dry, abandoned fishing boats scattered along the shore.  Fortunately, the heavy 2010 precipitation filled it back up, but how long will it stay that way?
