Can't swing a cat without hitting a church....
We departed Mexico City for the colonial town of Puebla, some 2.5 hrs away by bus. While stowing our luggage under the buys, I smash my head on a metal beam and it's not much fun. I find out later that I actually split my head open and blood came out. I ...

Aztec Temples are the nuts!!!!

Puebla de los Ángeles
... the hotel was absolutely beautiful (Hostal Santa Maria) but we didn't know that the cafe in its courtyard would play music until 2am while all Mexicanos' cigar-smoke escaped exclusively into our little chamber. ...let's hope we are luckier in Mexico ...

A Worthy Weekend Destination To Escape Mexico City
... At the end of the day, the rooms are simple and well overpriced especially when you see what else is around. At the top end Puebla offers some fine boutique accommodation. My favourite was Puebla de Antano Hotel, 3 Oriente No. 206, Tel: 01 (222) ...
Puebla 4
... at a Cuban restaurant. Important to note here is that, contrary to the American perception of enchiladas, enchiladas in Mexico only promise "in chile sauce", the literal translation of the word enchilada. In reality it was just shrimp coated ...
The Curious Case of the Dog at Teotihuacan

Lions & tigers & bears

Chocolate treats...
... but perhaps it´s more about the city´s colonial history and lack of starbucks. It´s hard to believe it´s the 5th biggest city in Mexico, after 3 days it really felt like we´d seen most of the sights, and had mole coming out of our ears. There´s lots ...

Puebla
... only here for a little night on our way back to Mexico City. Was the start of one of the worst days of our trip. Puebla is a bastard to drive in, because all the streets are one way, and they are all wonky. makes navigating difficult. especially when you ...
Acatlan rest
