The State of Morelia is one very, very amazing state in Mexico. It would be a great place to retire -- but fluent Spanish would be needed.

It's gotten very expensive.And the new government is very scary now be careful things are changing in Mexico

I just love your videos, Mora! I learn more things about Mexican history that I didn't know thanks to your research. The next time you come upon a funeral procession, I invite you not to worry about disturbing the participants as they pass. On the contrary, feel free to stand on the side and watch them as they walk past. You will be "accompanying them" with respect -- they will not be offended by your presence. In fact, they will feel honored that you took the time to stop and "be" with them in that solemn moment. I am so proud of you for fending off those dogs! You assured the safety of the Purépecha woman. What a valiant woman you are! ¡Qué mujer tan valiente eres! 🙂It is very, very admirable that you are "comfortable in your own skin" and that you are enjoying Mexico on your own ... in the company of your sweet dogs. A big hug from Jody here in Querétaro where my husband Jorge, our handsome, happy Golden Retriever mix Buddy, and I ("Pepe") are living quite contentedly. Much love to you, my friend. P.S. I have a UA-cam channel (Joseph Quillian) where I upload videos so they won't take up room in my cell phone. I put videos on there purely for enjoyment. I have lots of videos of our adventures in Querétaro. 🙂

Sweet video. thanks

During the dia de los muertos the cemmentaries in Michoacan are absolutely beautiful. I recommend you go back on November 2. 👍

Excellent episode! A lot of excitement

Holding a camera while driving in the USA is a big no no.... holding a camera while driving in a narrow road in Mexico is a bigger NO NO NO, seriously no please

This was another great video, Mora! I felt like I was in Morelos in a town (Pueblo mágico) in the mountains called Tepoztlán. It looks so much like Tzintzuntzan, which I had never seen before. The church with the large yard is so similar to the main church of Tepoztlán as well. There’s a market in the center of the Pueblo that has some of the best food around! It seems like it must be time for the cemetery clean up for Day of the Dead . Hasta luego!

Nice video thanks..

You are a real downer

Beautiful video Mora❣️ Thank you for sharing!!!

Thanks for this video. I remember the mercado , the church and the temple. It was a great afternoon walking through town.

Here is scoop on the migration of the monarchs that's just about to start in earnest (after the Día de los Muertos. "The monarch butterfly migration in Mexico begins around Day of the Dead in early November and lasts until mid March. But the monarch butterfly sanctuaries officially open to the public once they have arrived and settled in larger numbers, around the third week of November. Tip: It’s best to visit the butterfly sanctuaries in Mexico during the week versus the weekend. You will be rewarded with fewer people and no lines. From my experience, you’ll also be allowed to stay and observe the butterflies for a longer period of time." PS - In my experience, you can see thousands while hiking or driving in the area. They come in big numbers.

Thank you, enjoyed your video!

Hola Mora! Well, we arrived in Morelia last week after a two-week drive from Nova Scotia. Everything has worked out magically. We love our little AirBnB and our adorable hostess has agreed to rent it to us (off AirBnB) for six months or longer. We will come to Patzcuaro and Tzintzunzan after the holidays and hopefully can arrange to meet for a coffee. Joelle and I loved this video, it is so inviting, and you do such an excellent job of editing, with just the right music...Thank you again for sharing your magical day...

Another lovely video Mora! Thank you

So happy to see the sites with ❤ can't be wait to get there in person. Thanks

Loving this channel.

Hi Mora, wonderful video but I'm a bit confused. You said you don't recommend people come there right now because of safety reasons, yet you are out and about exploring and enjoying the area. Is it safe or not?

Hi MM, The orange/yellow flowers you saw are the famous cempasúchil (“sim-pah-sue-chill”😎) aka Mexican marigold. (I suspect there’s a purépecha word for them, too.) They play an important role in the Day of the Dead ceremonies all over Mexico, so you may see them everywhere during this time. They are also used to produce a dye, which, strangely, is fed to chickens to deepen the color of the yolks in eggs, and to shrimp to make them look more “shrimpy”. SMH. Notably, the plants are actually native to the area you’re in. It’s fascinating to consider how much incredible detail and meaning can be found on a day trip like this, in a flower, or an item on a menu, or in the life of the person being laid to rest. Thanks for the video; I’m always glad to see them when they appear on UA-cam.

Tzintzuntzan looks lovely. That home for rent looked lovely. Perhaps it will be available when we make our way there next year 🤞Thanks so much for your videos 🤗

Wow - beautiful, charming, historically rich. Looks very liveable. So good how you could help the woman with deterring the dogs. Right time, right place, right shirt.

The local chamber should hire you! You're doing a great job introducing us to the region. Thanks.

Thank you? You gonna stay by the dua de muertos a lot of people come from all over the world to celebrate dia de muertos take care of yourself and your 2 dogs 🐕

6:45 I laughed so hard. Thank you for these awesome videos. It makes me want to retire now !

Great video. Happily subbed.

Thanks! I love the name of this village! Thanks for sharing this lovely footage.

Mora, That band is so loud. It sounds as if they're trying to wake the dead! 😅

Oh - so pretty! The funeral looked joyful. A true celebration of life. Great video.

Thank you SO much for yet another beautiful video!

"Where in the World is Mora Margaret?"🌎

Looks like you got an amazing airbnb unit Mora.

I'm looking for a good, inexpensive AirBnB in Guanajuato in mid-November. I appreciate any referral info. Thanks! Cindie

How do you avoid wanting ti adopt every perro y gato along you way??!

Awful jobs are awful. You said it.

Si inspirimg❤

Mora, thank you for Al of the security information. I was in Sonora two years ago, and while I never experienced any problems, I did sense some tension around and as a Spanish speaker I felt I understood my surroundings and maintained my situational awareness. That said, I’m glad you are safe, have shared this experience and information, but I’m sorry that you have to go through this, you obviously don’t deserve it. Please remain vigilant and your joy, undeterred. Living in Mexico has been off of my radar since 2009 and experiencing a dramatically different Ciudad Juárez than I had experienced as a youngster living near the border back then. Nevertheless, in my travels Ive recently discovered a fun, beautiful and very safe Spanish speaking country I will be moving to, in three months time. Very excited about this! Cheers

This is such a beautifully zen video Mora!!! I'm now a senior -- and have decided to give myself a gift of as much travel as possible in Mexico during coming years. As happened to you, the very decision and intention brings me much joy and excitement! --Thanks!

Have a look at some of the advises "Tangerine Travels" can offer you. It's of an American guy who drove into Mexico for several years with his girlfriend. But then they no longer got along and split. They also had to split their youtube channel and so. Anyway, he decided to change the video content more to financial advise and so. He stayed in Mexico and got married and she went back to the US. She did try to get a home in Mexico you cam watch that in her new channel "MaddieGold".

Michoacán?

I just really enjoyed this video. I’ve come back to it a couple times to get a better perspective. Thanks for sharing.

Your travel documentary left me with a smile. Thanks! Now I have to travel to Janitzio and get a pair of those beautiful huaraches I spied here on your travels as well as taking in the ranchera music. Thanks for sharing and taking pride in your production! Cheers!

Love your videos. Thank you and keep living that wonderful life

Thank you

So glad you have had a good experience with my paisanos. I migrated legally to the US over 25 years ago, and I am counting the days to go back to my homeland.

I just passed through your area yesterday on my way to Queretaro from Guadalajara . (not my intention, Google Maps failed me again 🙄) This was possibly one of the most honest videos I've seen about Mexico. How do I know? I have lived here going three years. Alert is the constant state any Gringo should be in, especially in Expat areas where being pickpocketed, robbed, or scammed is common. Another good source for updates on FB is a group called On The Road In Mexico, it covers mostly travel, but also includes some advice on avoiding scams, and issues on border crossings.

Nice Places. You Have Picked The Most Expensive Places. You Should Try Oaxaca City.

Beautiful Places.and You Have Just Started. It Will Take You Years to Cover all of It.

What a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing…..

Did you find that smaller rural Mexican town that you were looking for? Sounds like a place I might be interested in some day.
