Morelia

We thought we'd stop by Morelia for a day or two, expecting one more colonial city. It is one more colonial city and it is gorgeous, full of beautiful plazas, usually with a lovely old church rising above them. We stumbled on numerous street celebrations, mostly involving heart-shaped balloons for Día de Amor y Amistad, and there were Saturday night fireworks from the roof of the cathedral. We ate well and wandered through the round of churches and museums, luxuriating in our last few weeks of Mexico. Anyone stopping by Morelia, we recommend the cosy local bar Revolucion 1910 and the birrireria (for goat tacos) a few doors down.




















































A few days later we caught the bus to Guanajuato and got a glimpse of Lago de Cuitzeo from the window.

Looks so beautiful. And looking outside at the gray skies and the rain here in San Fran, makes me wish I was there all the more!

I obviously love the two dog photos. The one of the dog in the door way should be a post card or a poster, it's so neat!

Can't wait to see you guys.
