Nogueras and Comala

We spent 2 days in the Colima-Comala area visiting with the Project Amigo folks. The dance on the Suchitlan Plaza was the second night just a block from our place. Carrizalillo is a recreation park a few miles up the road towards the volcano. We had one lunch at the Comala portales after visiting the adjoining town of Nogueras. Nogueras has a beautiful little Eco Park and plaza, a large ruin of a sugar mill and some very attractive old houses. There's also a museum there but it was closed.

Project Amigo dental clinic in Suchitlán Colima

We drove 5 kids from Melaque up to The little village of Cofradía de Suchitlán outside Comala Colima for a special dental clinic they put on for us. Most of our kids had not been to Colima let alone in the mountains at the base of Colima volcano. They had teeth fixed and an adventure at the same time.

Project Amigo is run by a great bunch of people and has been working in Colima for 25 years. Their offices are in a beautiful old home in Suchitlán. I'll let you read more about it on their web page. Ted has given up part of his home, a block away, for the dental office.
