Puebla

---

Puebla. What a lovely lovely town. It reminds me of the lovely Colonial towns of South America and a little of Antigua in Guatemala.

It´s a much quieter spot than Mexico City and has retained it´s beautiful Spanish architecture. People move at a much slower pace, there is far less traffic (Mexico City was a bit mental with traffic), and it´s a lot warmer than Mexico City was.

We are only here for a day which is a shame. I would rather have added a day here and taken off one from Mexico City. We spent the morning on a rickety old tourist bus seeing all the sights. And then I finally found an internet cafe - yey - and that´s why my blog can finally be updated.

Later this afternoon we head off to Oaxaca which is famous for its chocolate. (I´m sure it must be famous for other things too).

Oaxaca is also famous for stringy cheese (yum) and Mescal! Two of my favourite things! Oh, and some ruins too.
