first few days in morelia

So here we are in mexico, morelia to be exact, me and my love sonya. The first couple of days have been a relaxing acclamation to morelias elevation in the mountains. It being sonya´s second time in morelia, and my first, she has been able to show me around as she knows the town, however we have both discovered very new things. The mexico that I know (where my grandparents live) is a beach town, and the people are much poorer. Here it is like a big city (the 4th largest in mexico), however, it is a colonial city with good communal vibes. >Shopping at the market has been an absolutely pleasant suprise, buying 3 avocados, ingredients for salsa, and beans, only cost us 4 american dollars!!!! There is much more commerce and infastructure than any where else... there is alot of traffic and many businesses but the aqueducts and colonial architechture give off a spanish vibe. We are staying in a hostal right now but tonight is our last night and next we plan on staying with a friend we met online through COUCHSURFINg. COM. It is a great online community in which we have participated and enjoyed very much... pretty much it equals FREE rentt!!!!! we plan to exercise the couchsurfing website in morelia, until we decide to move on to patzcuaro (right by the lake and mountain) where we will cAMP, HOSTAL, OR COUCHSURF...... whatever we can mange!!!! not alot more is happening here except for meeting locals here and there, traveling through the plazas and selling sonyas handmade earings on the street... wish us luck in our undefined future!!!!!! Gracias
