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...
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.
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 🤗
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 🐕
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?
Thanks! I love the name of this village! Thanks for sharing this lovely footage.
Thank you SO much for yet another beautiful video!
Muchas gracias!
Oh - so pretty! The funeral looked joyful. A true celebration of life. Great video.
Thanks for watching, it was a very fun day!

The local chamber should hire you! You're doing a great job introducing us to the region. Thanks.
Mora,
That band is so loud. It sounds as if they're trying to wake the dead! 😅
Another lovely video Mora!
Thank you
