Ex-Convento de San Francisco Luncheon

As you can tell by my gigantic plate of food, the luncheon was fabulous. I have never eaten so many wonderful things in all of my life. There was even a woman making homemade ready-to-order enchiladas on a large skillet. Topping it off with an horchata water to drink, I was quite content. And with such fine company, what more could you ask for?

Ex-Convento de San Francisco Visit

The Ex-Convento de San Francisco is a religious compound built partly with stones from the Tarascan site located just up the hill which the Spanish demolished. Of significance during the colonial period in Mexico, this site is where Franciscan monks began the Spanish missionary effort in Michoacán during the sixteenth century.

Before we got out to the back courtyard where the tables were set up, we toured the inside and got to try some locally made tequila.
