Michoacan: Morelia, Patzcuaro, and Janitzio

Hello, I got back last night from Michoacan, again. Haha! This time though I was with my group. We only took a 2 day excursion, but they tried to fit too much into those two days. The first day we toured cathedrals and convents in Michoacan and parts of Guanajuato. It was quite boring because no-one could hear our professor talking because he liked to whisper. The two or three people that did hear him still didn't get much info; therefore, no-one knew what cathedral we were seeing, it's significance, or why we were even there. The cathedrals were pretty, but that's all we knew.

On a very different note, I had two full meals both Saturday and Sunday, had snacks in between, and was not sick. It was an AMAZING weekend in that respect. I got back home and my friends were like, "Why in the world are you so happy?" I explained that I am normally a happy person (although I may complain a little) but that when you are constantly sick and don't eat enough, you just aren't just as happy. Mondays and Thursdays are the days when I usually get sick and I am not sick now, so this week is looking pretty good!

It's about 80 degrees, sunny, and beautiful here in Guanajuato today. The sky is clear, so I think I may walk around a little and take some pictures of the city.

I'm starting to feel the crunch for finals next week. I don't have any final exams, but a do have a 10 page "Politica" paper to write by Thursday, and 3 more papers to write by next Thursday. The work load really hasn't been bad though, so I can't complain. I've had a lot of free time to explore and hang out with friends; however, everyone would still prefer a little less work.

Well, lunch is almost done, so I am going to go. I will be back in the US in 12 short days. It will be bittersweet. ¡Nos vemos pronto amigos!
