Last weekend, we went off to Morelia with friends Liam and Meghan for a three-day weekend to visit the monarch butterly sanctuaries. We stayed in the capital of the state of Michoacan, in Morelia, which was a beautiful place to get away from Guadalajara. We only visited the historic center, but loved the colonial buildings, the lack of grafiti covering everything, and the amount of activity in the plazas on the weekends. I’m nearly convinced that every photo in Mexican tour books that isn’t taken at the beach or in the desert may have been taken in the center of Morelia.
It was Valentine’s weekend, so the balloon vendors were out in full force, as we were treated to a children’s dance performance.
