I did find the government run liquor store. It's called IMSS and was only about 3 blocks north of the main market. Also I now know why people never know the street name. When I went to look for the name which is often on the corner of a building there was nothing I could read. At least I will be able say that from the side of the market where the small fish vendor is you walk Calle Isabel Allende for 3 blocks and turn left and there it is about 4 stores down!
I took this photo at one of the many nights leading up to Independence Day. This was the 2nd night of performances by the Folklorico Company of Michoacan and it was really great. The previous night they appeared to have used, the back up male dancers,but this night there were different dancers. They both looked great and danced impressively especially as the nights here are hot and very humid. One number was danced by all, men and women, in fringed suede jackets! Then the men did a very fast number on their own and then the women re-joined then and then danced again. I was amazed that no one keeled over. The women mostly wear very full skirts and spend a lot of time twirling them, sashaying around the stage and giving come-hither looks to the men. In their place I would too!
