I ended my excursion in the capital of the state I work in: Morelia, Michoacan. Formerly it was known as Valladolid but was renamed in 1828 to honor Jose Maria Morelos, another hero in Mexico’s struggle for independence. The city center, a World Heritage site, still shows the legacy of the Spanish nobility and religious orders who established the city in the 1500s. I started in the main plaza, which is where the main cathedral is located. It took over a century to build it. The Palacio Municipal, the Palacio de Justicia and the Museo Regional Michoacano surround the Plaza de Armas. I passed the Casa Natal de Morelos, where Jose Maria Morelos was born, and then walked east towards the aqueducts. The taxis show the pride that Morelians have for the aqueducts.
The Morelia taxi drivers are proud of their aqueducts.
Conservatorio de Muscia de las Rosas. A good example of the architecture that you can find in Morelia
A tribute to Jose Maria Morelos y Pavon in La Plaza Villalongin.
As I was walking along Avenida Aqueducto noticed that the bottomo of this tree trunk was the target of disgarded gum. Disgusting, but interesting nonetheless.

La Fuente de Las Tarascas (The Tarascans are an indigenous people here in Michoacan. They're famous for their textiles and pottery).
A spectacular golden Christmas tree next to La Iglesia y convento de San Francisco.
