Loved it when my daughter brought me to Berne. Nine dollars plus for a cup of coffee, and almost twenty-two dollars for breakfast at a common family restaurant. We must live on different planets. The mini diesel turbocharged cars were a delight though. I just needed a suitcase packed with 100 dollar bills
I suspect that we live on the same planet!
I grant that prices for anything in Switzerland (or Scandinavia)are ridiculous. But that's comparable to extrapolating prices from a 5 Star restaurant in Mexico City. They don't reflect the culinary delight or the prices to be had, say, from carne asada cooked over an old oil drum by the side of the road - or a taco from Torito Norteno in Ciudad Oaxaca - or even that most wondrous of fast food chains: Pollo Feliz!
Eating out in most of Europe is inexpensive for the quality, as long as you avoid tourist areas (or Switzerland!), which we do. It seems like menu prices are high, but what's included in that stated price is not the same. Often overlooked is that taxes and tips are generally included in the menu price. And there is nowhere near the markup on wine & beer. And you can take your dog right into the restaurant!
That's so sad about Michoacan. Patzcuaro is a favorite destination for us. We love the Plaza Grande, the market, whitefish dinners, the campground at Villa Patzcuaro, even the rather cheesy Janitzio ...and touring the surrounding villages (bought several incredible masks from Juan Horta in Tocuaro before he passed away).
