A Day of Walking in Circles

---

We spent the day walking around the city and visiting many Colonial buildings! We didn't carry the big guide book with us, so we spent some time circling around, looking for restauarants and museums we wanted to visit. It didn't help that one exhibit was in a building that had a different name than the one on the poster!

Last night we went to what we thought was a concert, but instead was a lecture on a requiem...the music was on tape and the lecture, while in a beautiful chapel, was in rapid Spanish, so we left early.

We had an early dinner tonight in a restauarant recommended by Sandra, Citlalli's mom....the meal was great..and setting was beautiful.

We had thought to take a tour today, but realized that since the traffic is so bad, we would be better off on foot.

Morelia is about the size of Seattle, but the part we've visited is about 15 blocks square. There are so many beautiful buildings everywhere, it's hard to know where to look. Last night, all the main buildings were lit up. Beautiful!

There are many, many schools here: elementrary, high school, beautician, nursing, medicine..and kids everywhere at all hours. i think there are two sessions of school here: a morning one that ends at 1:00 or so and another that ends around 7:00 pm. The high school kids hang out quite late....

We didn't feel the earthquake this morning....

We will leave tomorrow for Patzcuaro, and hour away....
