Travels are about to be continued

Travel is in the veins
of those who cherish exploration,
travel through history,
wander through streets,
encounter new people.
It is a neverending tale

Currently I am posted in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico. Arrived here last Sunday and fell in love, imminently. Semana Santa (week of celebrations regarding Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter) provided me with a week off from studying. It´s a week vacation within a yearlong vacation. Tomorrow I will visit Patzcuaro and it´s lake. This area is very famous the celebrations of Day of the Dead (1-2 November). Death in this country is ofcourse also a sad part of life, but it is also celebrated, because it is assumed that people go to a better place after life. It is also a day to spend with deceased loved ones. I think I saw a tv program once when this was taken quite literally by digging up the cascets...

Anyway, apparently Patzcuaro is one of Mexico´s most beautiful cities... Later Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende will be visited. After this week most of the cities around Mexico DF I planned to visit, will be visited. My language course will be ending at the end of April. There are friendships that I will leave behind when I continue my travels through the Americas, but no doubt I will visit them wherever they are. Slowly it is time to say goodbye to Mexico.

Ciudad de México
que nunca quiere perderme
un imán que tira a mí
sí, voy a venir por unas semanas
pero el 1 mayo voy a salirte
sólo físicamente
porque siempre estarás en mis piensamentes.

Por más de 4 meses eras mi casa, mi vida
Grazie!
