In 1943, a volcanoe erupted and buried a town at its base. The only building left standing was the town´s church, which is now covered in 20 - 30 feet of lava rock. As we walked from the town to the ruins of the church, we got glimpses of the churches one remaining tower. When we arrived, I was struck the amount of rock that now covered the church. Between the 30 feet of lava rock that now buried the church and missing church steeple, the force of the eruption was very clear. All in all, it was great to get out of Morelia and see some of the diversity of Mexico´s rural scenery and culture.
