After 4 days in big ol´Mexico City, I decided to see what some of the smaller towns were like, so I travelled 2 hours by bus to a cute town called Puebla. It is really dinky and there are lots of old beautiful brightly-coloured buildings. There is a main square where they have performances and entertainment every night, and people selling helium balloons on every corner.

I also spent an afternoon in a nearby town called Cholula, which is home to the widest pyramid ever built. Not that it looks like a pyramid, mind you- it is all covered in grass, and when the Spanish invaded they built a church on it!

Have been eating lots of yummy spanish food. At the moment cheese quesadillas are my favourite and I´m still laughing at plates of refried beans cos they look like plates of poo! Will try and take a photo of one soon!

Really pretty inside, but with neon lights over the altar- classy!

I know it doesn´t look like a pyramid, but apparently it was! Strange place to build a church though!
