Morelia

Morelia surprised me, I went to the Cathedral and took some pictures (see pics) before going to say Hi to Alfonso Izquierdo's mother; Alfonso is a native citizen from Morelia and the reason I went there. He said so much about the place that triggered my curiosity; the truth is that is difficult to imagine the beauty of the city unless you visit.


Not only the colonial scenery is impacting but also seems to be a city very active from the cultural point of view (art and social sciences) I really liked.

I headed to Puebla trying to avoid Mexico city, I asked for directions and a coffee in a bar (they served me a super espresso illy) and the guy was a biker (harley ) he gave me all directions written to make sure I can go through Toluca up to Cuernavaca, unfortunately the tank bag of the 650 is open and the wind blew the notes......I end up taking a different road, very beautiful in the mountain but longer.

I arrived to Curnavaca, that looks too crazy for me, and decided to stay because it was too late to try Puebla .

I'll be leaving soon to pass cross Veracruz and now heading towards the border to Guatenala;See Morelia's pics that are beautiful
