IT WAS DARK, WHERE IS THAT STREET AND QUIT HONKING AT ME

the cathedral
And that is how we arrived into Puebla.  After about twelve hours on the road, we arrived exhausted and not up to big city driving.  At first we were a little disappointed, all we saw were skyscrapers and big chain stores.  But after seeing the cathedral and the colonial buildings we were thrilled and excited to go exploring in the morning.

We loved this city.  Basically all we did was wonder the streets and tried to take it all in.  That was hard because everywhere you looked there were so many details.  The city is covered with beautiful hand painted tiles.  Every building is adorned with them.  I had to convince Justin that it wasn't a wise idea to pry up one with his pocket knife.









The city is so clean and mellow as opposed to everywhere else we have been in Mexico.  We loved the relaxed vibe.  We could of walked the streets for days and never see the same thing twice.  This city really needs more than a day to do it justice.  I guess that means we will be back.









the coolest vending machine we ever saw
our first time trying chalupas and mole sauce - so so good
