Photos from our day trip to Colima

One of the nine grand churches in the city of Colima

From the rooftop of a 5 story parkade






 The workshop of Alejandro Rangel Hidalgo


Driving into Colima, . The main street is getting decked out for Navidad, the large tree, compliments of Coca Cola, the top will be a huge lit Coke sign!

On a clear day, one can see the two volcanoes, the one in front is active, named Fire and the one in the rear named nevada, meaning snow 

Feliz Navidad on the front of the government building. Inside, a history museum, 400 year old pottery artifacts and an armory museum

This is a Best Westen, had breakfast here after our two hour ride from Melaque
