Today we started early with a pleasant stroll down La Calzada. This small walkway connects to the main street in town that runs in front of the Cathedral. Several miles are blocked off from traffic on Sunday for families to bike, walk, skateboard...

Our tour bus had a bit of a crash with a taxi cab, but no one was concerned. There was no exchange of insurance or even discussion between the drivers.

Monday we walked around and took more pictures
Morelia is a sweet city, everything tourist is an easy walk away. Our little apartment there was incredible, centrally located and very comfortable. We didn't eat out a single time in Morelia because we had such a nicely supplied kitchen.
The only drawback, in my opinion, about Morelia was the pollution caused by many cars and very narrow roads with connected buildings fronts. Behind the facades may lie a beautiful garden or home, or a vacant lot.
