Museum house Morelos, Morelia.

This is a view from the second floor of the museum house Morelos. The second floor was built by the very same Jose Maria Morelos y Pavon, one of the Fathers of the Independence of Mexico. He bought this house for his sister and later he added the second floor. It seemed surreal to step in the house of one of the national heroes of the independence, being surrounded by walls and walking on the stairs made of stone designed by himself. It was a privilege actually. After visiting every single room I sat in bench on the second floor invited by the calmness of the place. There, sit, I could understand by watching the architecture, that there was a combination of styles in this building. The cantera or quarry stone from the Spanish influence and the wood work and local carving style of the beams in the high ceilings was omnipresent through out the house. My mini Moleskine, always handy, and the patience of a husband were key elements to sketch this view of the front patio.
