Patzcuaro

Initially we wanted to stay in Patzcuaro instead of Morelia. The long route there as well as the raving reviews about Morelia dissuaded us and we chose Morelia instead. But still, we have plenty of time and we are not in a hurry to arrive in Mexico. We...

Morelia - city of sweets

We start the day with breakfast, view on the cathedral. We take a stroll in the city that takes us from one church to another, from a nice little plaza with beautiful fountain to the aqueduct, Morelia’s pride with 253 arches. We pass through many, the...

Reaching Morelia

Though we left San Miguel early in the day, the connections to Morelia prove time-consuming and we don’t get there until late afternoon. Nevertheless, check in at the hotel is smooth and what’s more, it is just in front of the cathedral with the main...

Lazy day

Today it is Jeremie’s turn to get sick, but really sick. He gets some rest but finally makes it out of the room around 1pm. We go straight to the Instituto Allende to walk around and enjoy the atmosphere and the painted walls. Then we have lunch a very...

Wandering around in San Miguel

Yes, it’s a cliché. Almost everyone passes here in a journey to Mexico. We came here hesitant. Why? Because we wanted to see real Mexico, not retired Americans, burger joints and made up things. Nothing as such here: beautiful colonial mansions with nice...

San Miguel de Allende

The bus to San Miguel is easy to catch and we are ready to face the land of retired ‘gringos’ cause San Miguel has a big colony of Americans who come to retire, live artistry lives or study. We arrive to our hotel, located on top of the hill, in Fuentes...

Mummies of Guanajuato

Part of the Guanajuato experience was ruined by our choice of the hotel. But let’s be frank, the city is deservedly beautiful and merits more of our attention. We are leaving today for San Miguel de Allende but there are still things to see, not of the...

Guanajuato

Mercado Hidalgo was designed by Gustave Eiffel and houses nice and lively shops selling everything from souvenirs, to fresh meats, juices and quick bites. The narrow streets of Guanajuato are charming, but our stroller where Noemie is seated thinks otherwise…...

A last stroll in the city gets us to the ex-Convento de San Augustin that is closed but quite nice colors and architecture on the outside, we pass by the Santo Domingo church that has quite nice golden ornaments. On the way back to the hotel, a shop called...

Corrida

Zacatecas, the city of first times for us: the Charreria, the rodeo, the visit to the mine and today the Corrida - no less. I will not go into encouraging such activities or the moral implications that is hardly regarded by some as a sport or entertainment...
