I first thought we should drive through Acapulco, but then my brother told me about this new road from Morelia to Ixtapa, so we decided to try it.  Apparently it’s supposed to take about the same time to drive, so it was just a matter of choice.  We drove first from Mexico City to Toluca, and from there we took a toll road to Morelia.  First I started driving but since I was supposed to have a stress free trip I asked my mom to give me a hand with the driving.  Håkan doesn’t like to drive in Mexico so I knew that option was out of the question.  My mom took the wheel in what is probably the worse part, which means a two lane road.  The road was very nice but it’s been a long time since she last drove one of these roads so she was driving very slow. 

My stress free trip started to get a bit more stressful by the minute.  I think even Håkan thought it was a bit ridiculous, so when I asked him if he would be willing to drive, he said YES!! Sure enough immediately we made up for some driving time, and things went smoothly.  We stayed in the very center of the city, it’s a beautiful city. The cathedral is a typical building found in the center of every city in Mexico.
