Morelia

I finally got out and discovered I live in one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico.
Every Saturday night, the main street of down town gets closed off for a spectacular show of fireworks, music and lights as the cathedral slowly gets illuminated.


A little bit of history: the Cathedral took 84 years to build and is currently 263 years old.



"La danza de los viejitos", danza indigena tradicional del Estado de Michoacan.

"The Dance of the Old People", it's a traditional dance of the State of Michoacan.
People gather around to see this awesome dance performed with old man's masks, colorful sarapes and a unique way of tapping feet.


This little boy performed just as well as his elders and was so cute, he couldn't have been more then six years old.


El tranvia.


The kids couldn't get their eyes off; so many balloons!.

There is so much richness in the Mexican culture. I am going to be doing a series of posts about Veracruz and the things around here. But Morelia is amazing, glad to have my son born there!
