So besides visiting with my family in Mexico, I did do a few other things... Ivonne, a girl who works for my host dad took me downtown to the "Zocalo" of Puebla one day to walk around, visit a museum and have some lunch while everyone in the family was either at work or school. She was a sweetheart and I got to practice quite a bit of Spanish with her. The week before I left was filled with so much running around that I was exhausted that night and didn't go out. But Memo's (my family's eldest son) girlfriend Ileana and her friend Claudia took me for sushi (there are a lot more japonese restaurants in Puebla than I remember when I was there a few years ago), to the church of the mummy, ... read more

I am now in the magical town of Cuetzalan in the Sierra Norte de Puebla after a bit of a circuatous (sp??) route - I went from Xalapa to Puebla yesterday, and from Puebla to here though I am geographically now much closer to Xalapa but a) wanted to see Puebla and b) could not figure out the bus route - ticketbus did not have a link though am sure you can do it through a combination of 2nd class bus (which I took here) and regional collectivos. Cuetzalan is one of the Puebos Magicos on the tourists brochures, and from the little I have seen it certainly is - while at a much lower elevation than Puebla (just under 1000 metres I believe), you feel that you are in the mountains, driving over twisting mountainous ... read more

Day 5: We left Mexico City early on Saturday and took a bus to Puebla, which is only less than 2 hours southeast of Mexico City. It is the religious capital of Mexico and VERY beautiful. All of the buildings in town are colonial style and extremely colorful. It’s a large city but felt smaller, cleaner, and safer than Mexico City. We were all sad to only spend one night there. We saw the cathedral next to the Zocalo (the Zocalo was so pretty!) and visited an old convent where my camera died (and my batteries were in my bag in Oaxaca! Que triste!). We went in a store where they make and sell beautiful pottery famous in Puebla. Most of us bought something as souvenirs. We then went into a huge church that has the ... read more
