Fleeting visit to Puebla/ Cholula

Both of which are very pretty small cities about 2 hours away from D.F. A super sweet and lovely local guy named Ricardo showed myself and Alex around, doing a mighty fine job of both! He also improved our Spanish significantly, patiently explaining every other palabra to us that we failed to understand. An intense day of Spanish speaking. And of course, once again beautiful Spanish-style colonial churches and cathedrals, vibrant mercados, friendly people, excellent cuisine, impressive Aztec ruins and grand forts (for when the French attempted and failed to invade.) Mexico once again, HAS IT ALL! We were so amazed by the colours of the city but Ricardo told us to hold our breaths for Oaxaca and rightly so...

As in Oaxaca city we arrived last night after a 4hour journey and our day has been crammed with colours and life and energy and ART! Galleries are everywhere as our artesanias selling their hand-made crafts on every street. I am in love with Oaxaca city!
