The Way You Make Me Feel
... had no gaardtjie to collect fares and yell: "Kap aan, driver!". We have enjoyed each Mexican town more than the last. Morelia was no exception. The instant we caught a glimpse of the historic centre, I fell in love! Sometimes it's hard to ...
Best. Bus. Ever.
... the landscape out of the windows. Low income houses with tin rooves on ranches of cattle on parched mountainous land. We arrived in Morelia, and it appears the city has more wealth than Guadalajara. We took a cab to Hostel Allende which was on a ...
A very nice and ineresting city
You can reach Morelia over the highway 37 in 3 hours from Lazaro Cardenas. The way was amazing that's the real Mexico how you can see it in every movie. Many cactus's near the street, the landscape is beautiful and a lot of lakes in the dryness. I just ...
Morelia
... people mainly from France and Mexico. They all help me with my Spanish as my classes really weren't very good, but I'm definitely improving. Morelia is a great city with so much to do. My friend showed me round and we saw lots of cathedrals, a great ...
Mariposa, mi Amigos!
... sure it wasn't going to be the last time. We loaded back into the van, and began the three hour trek back to Morelia. Luis made a surprise stop though, exclaiming "Mandatory Bread!" We'd stopped at small bakery selling sweets and had ovens in the back ...
I rented an apartment
Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Well, I have been in Mexico for about a month now and am getting settled in. When I first got here I went to stay with the host family I lived with last time I was here. When I arrived, she sent me to live with her ...
Morelia, gateway to the Monarchs
We spent two nights in Morelia, a colonial city in Minochoacan, our gateway to the Monarchs. In itself Morelia is a nice enough city but next time we will stay in Patzcauro, see another entry, or closer to the Monarchs. We got to Morelia, by bus, on a ...
Over a week late, but worth the wait
... a case of wine across an entire continent before, but this was even beyond me. The Catedral in Morelia was (at that point) the grandest I had seen in Mexico thus far. It looked especially beautiful all lit up at night (see pic). We had just missed a ...
Howdy yall
... . Let me know what you have been up to. I have been really busy lately. I am working in an English school in downtown Morelia. I find it very interesting. I have realized that just because you speak English does not mean that you can teach it! But I am ...

I Have Arrived
I made it! After travelling for 16 hours I am here. I will stay in Morelia for the next few days whilst I do my Spanish course, which evidently is much needed as hardly anyone speaks a word of English. The weather is great, it is pretty hot and the city ...
"Before" pictures of apartment
... . Then one of the uncles came out dressed like santa. He had a present for every kid. Santa only says "ho" twice in Mexico. "Ho ho. . . ho ho. . . ho ho." The next morning we woke up really early and drove to Puerto Vallarta for a week of relaxing ...
Morelia
Morelia is exalted by the Lonely Plant as the best city in the world you´ve never been. While the place took a day or two to grow on me, I´m beginning to see what they´re getting at. This university city is so full of colonial ...
Quick stop in Morelia
... . Wir wären noch länger geblieben, aber es gibt noch so viele andere Sachen zu sehen. Wir haben 3 Stunden in Morelia angehalten Auch ein schöne Stadt, die sehr viele koloniale Gebäude hat und noch touristisch gar nicht erschlossen ist. Wir sind dann ...
Visit to Michoacan and the Monarchs
... and fly around to seek water. Two sanctuaries are open to visitors and we went to one for the day. A 2 hour 40 minute drive from Morelia brought us to the start of the trail, where you climb about 1 1/2 miles but about1,500 feet to get to the glade ...
Pine and Eucalyptus Covered Mountains
... to be cookie cutter sub-divisions stretched out for acres and acres. Our road merged with others as we reached the outskirts of Morelia. Smoke belching truck traffic increased and buses and combies cut in front of us. The riding became nerve wrecking. We ...

... VR à la fois pouvait passer. Nous touchions presque les trottoirs. Puis sur la route 43 nous sommes passés près de Morelia, ville de 13 millions d'habitants que nous visiterons demain. Nous arrivons au terrain de camping 'El Pozo Traler Park' situé ...
Beautiful Morelia
... , capital of the state of Michoacan. Until now I'd considered Guadalajara the most beautiful of the cities I'd seen, but Morelia outstrips it by far. Considered the most Spanish of cities, the architecture here is overwhelming. From the huge ...
July 24th 2008
It was a really cloudy gray day this morning. We were going to this huge playground where we had gone the day before. There was absolutely nobody there. The only people who were there were venders and people sweeping with ...
Backwards and Forwards
... early because one of the girls wanted to travel but I really didn't want to leave because I absolutely loved it there. We came back to Morelia and it has been really boring so tonight I will go back to the beach for the rest of my time in Mexico. I must ...
High Road JM Morelos National Park
... down Torascan soup and quesadillas. We needed something on this chilly morning and this did the trick. The eastern outskirts of Morelia lack the hodgepodge of muffler, tire shop, and junk yards that clutter the west side. It seems more upscale…. ...

Mexico
This morning Monique came and woke me up. For some reason I can't remember exactly but she did. Nobody else was up. She was really loud so my parents woke up. My mom said it was too early and went back to bed and my dad got ...

The Butterfly preserve
The state of Morelia boasts the winter hibernation ground for the Monarch butterfly. Set back in the mountains the butterfly preserve is not an easy site to see. The butterflies migrate through multiple generations. How the offspring ...
Entreprenurial Law Enforcement
Well our luck was finally bound to run out. While navigating our way through Morelia, we had our first encounter with Mexican law enforcement. We had heard the stories and initially had worried about the police. As the days passed, we ...
