November 23, 2023. Thanksgiving Adventures
Happy Thanksgiving! Sorry, not a turkey in sight.
We had a very relaxed time for our last day in Morelia. We mostly wandered. We found a market and had lunch.
We saw a small amusement park…
…and a man selling grain and beans…
We had a vague idea that we’d go to the opera at a Cultural Center but we weren’t sure where it was. We stopped in at a place called “UNAM Centro Cultural Morelia” —a part of the university with studies in several languages and cultural topics. They didn’t know where the other cultural center was, but they invited us in to see the exhibit they had. What a treat.
First, we saw a couple of rooms full of large stickers/posters about pollination. I know this seems odd but the artwork was very good and the juxtaposition of all the aspects of pollination on all aspects of life and social justice was intriguing. Here’s a couple of photos.
There was also a lovely exhibition of masks and the pastorales. This just added to what we’d already seen. There was some lovely children’s art, too. We even visited the university library— small but mighty.
After that little side attraction, we decided it was time for afternoon tea…er, coffee…er, chocolate. We went to a “chain” called Pachamama where the drinks are made from scratch once you order.
First, we had drinks.
Then the appetizers… yakitori and gyoza!
Yes! We went to a fabulous Japanese restaurant. The next course was equally delicious…
…and we opted for more wine. Good thing we were close to our hotel.
Thus ended a very nice Thanksgiving day. We were thankful to be in warm, sunny, interesting, friendly Mexico.
