We only stayed for a few minutes because we wanted to see and spend some time in Morelia before heading further west to Paztcuaro for a couple of nights. Morelia is the third largest city in Mexico and a huge college town. It is also boasts one of the finest cathedrals in Mexico. Last year when we were there, Louise and I spent hours sitting across the street from it while enjoying drinks or a meal and admiring the beautiful structure and grounds. This year unfortunately, we weren’t so lucky. We were all walking up the road to the cathedral and all of a sudden traffic came to a halt. The sidewalks started to jam up, and cars started making a “U-turn” right in the middle of town…the teachers had planned a major protest and that collimated just as we were within a block of the cathedral and “THE” place that all that kind of thing takes place. I really wanted to get closer but the books tell us to “avoid ALL protests” if possible, so we turned back and found a sidewalk café about a mile back …all turned out good except for not seeing the cathedral. Well now we’ve got a 50 mile drive to Patzcuaro ahead of us, so back on the Hwy and in a hunt a hotel.
