These two pictures were taken from the bus as I travelled through Comala. I saw houses more run down than these while I was in Colima, but I never took any pictures of them. These are my only pictures of the poorer side of Mexico.
I went to Comala a lot for lunch with my friends. From the university, we were able to get on the bus, and we would be in Comala in a matter of 30 minutes. The food there was "free". You only have to buy your drinks. So, you could get whatever drink you wanted non-alcoholic as well, and then, the waiter would keep bringing plate after plate of food. Here is more info:The botanero is a type of restaurant that is found in the area, especially in Comala. Bottles of local alcoholic beverages may be ordered that come with an assortment of botanas a no additional charge. The drinks include ponche de granada (pomegranate punch) and drinks made from tamarind, dried plums and other fruit, as well as tuba, an alcoholic drink made from palm sap. Botanas may include fried tacos, enchiladas, ceviche tostadas, cheeses, and salads. However, the botanas have become quite popular and are more appealing than the alcohol to many of us so you can purchase an assortment of botanas and make a meal of it without the alcohol. The dishes come to your table a few at a time so you can work your way through the assortment.
