How can I condense one week of touring...
The interior of Mexico…
In one blog post?
I’m not sure I can, but I'll try…
Here goes…
First, I got to hand it to the Spanish…
Who, when they came into (conquered) Mexico
Constructed absolutely amazing architecture...
Like these churches and cathedrals.
Jaw dropping beauty!
And the gold you see…
Is real gold, not paint.
All cathedrals and churches.
(the only difference
being whether a bishop resided there)
Were built in the 15, 16,
& 1700’s...
And there is at least one in even the smallest of towns.
And then there’s Guadalajara
An historic city…
Yet ur
Besides going to museums, shops and restaurants…
I went to a haunted cemetery…
Ghosts there from the 1800’s.
Even the tomb of a vampire.
And trust me...
Mexicans love tales of the supernatural...
Ever as much, if not more, than Americans.
I also went on a side trip to the ruins of a church...

In the wake of an erupted volcano back in 1943.
Then there was Morelia, capitol of Mich
Where besides more churches and cathedrals...
There was this 1700 year-old building...
Where I sipped coffee and breathed in...
The beauty of that historic city.

There were other side trips like to an island...
A tropical natural park...
A quick jaunt into Mexico City...
And all the little towns and villages in between.
What can I say?

Those are some beautiful churches. Even the one in ruins. I have been to Mexico but didn't get to explore much.
I want to visit Mexico. Funny tidbit: Mexico has now displaced America as having the fattest citizens on earth.
We took a cruise to Mexico, but outside of visiting a farm and riding "genuine Mexican ponies from Kentucky," we didn't see many of the sights. I would've spent hours taking pictures in those churches though. Gorgeous!
I guess the Spanish had the cash to build, with all that gold they stole
You have the best posts. Yes, I love Mexico. Gorgeous!
