Probaditas de Morelia

After leaving my apartment, the first step is a left turn onto the most beautiful street in Morelia, the Callejón del Romance. Throughout the evening this little one-block long street overflows with passionate, teenage lovers, each pair totally absorbed in the moment and oblivious to the rest.

Then past, Las Tarascas, a fountain named after the native people of this state that was stolen by a former governor and shipped to his house in Europe. The one you see today is a replacement.

Next, through a park that is lined with state commissioned shoe-shiners.

I always had to wait at this stop light to cross the busiest street in Morelia, La Avenida Madero, where you can find the Cathedral and all the most popular cafes in town.

Just past the main street, I cross through my favorite park in Morelia. The first time I saw this park, back during my vacation in September, I knew where I wanted to live.

Today I live five blocks from this spot.

Then two blocks down this typically residential street...

...past a beautiful little church with a relaxing garden.

I have often stopped to yawn in front of this rooster.

And then finally, the school.
