Probaditas de Morelia: Kyle & John - Global Wanderers: Part 1

Ahh yes, those two globetrotters Kyle and John chanced to stop by our little corner of the world a short while ago in route, they claimed, between the UK, Oregon, and New Zealand. They were fantastic guests and even brought me a real English tea pot all the way from, yes, the UK, thus cementing a properly brewed cup of tea as my latest obsession. Kyle took an incredible number of great photos. Here are six of them. More to come soon.

Kyle and John a few blocks from my place.

Standing in the middle of the main street,
"La Madero," right in the heart of downtown.

John enjoying Mexican culture with his first "Bandera." A set of three shots, one of Tequila, one of lime juice, and one of a spicy tomato juice concoction called Sangrita.
Bandera means flag and here each shot matches one of the stripes on the Mexican Flag. These shots are to be sipped (not chugged American style) in sequence starting with the Tequila. The combination when using good Tequila is a delicious treat as John can now attest.

Moments later John enjoyed another Mexican custom. I can never remember what this thing is called but it's a large, shared, tropical cocktail. Locals recommended caution when consuming these huge-bowl cocktails and Banderas in the same sitting.

Later that day in rainy Patzcuaro.

Planning the day over breakfast at the best hotel in Morelia.

More photos coming soon in Part 2...

That "large, shared tropical cocktail"...which restaurant are you guys at? --tony

The restaurant is called Campo Alegre and it's on the side of the highway about 5 or 10 minutes before you get to Patzcuaro. The food is really great and reasonably priced. You should check it out if you've never been.
