PUEBLA

Broken Spanish & Driving the Mexican Way...

Leaving Mexico City behind i took to the roads with four fellow Columbian's, we were headed for Puebla for what was supposed to be an afternoon flyby visit however i have since learnt that Columbians like to move at a slower pace than everyone else and this accompanied with the serious language barrier i spent 99% of the trip either confused about what was happening or not knowing all together. 

We did make it to Puebla, i had an amazing Mexican soup on the way so i shouldn't complain, later that day and stayed in a hostel overnight before heading out to the Cholula Ruins for some underground caving fun and another day of driving. This area of Puebla was really pretty with hundreds of churches that are all immaculately decorated, brightly painted buildings, cobbled streets and of course a Zocalo.... Every town in Mexico has a central square and a Cathedral that sits on it and it is 100% always listed as a must see! 

The tunnels that ran under the main pyramid at the Cholula ruins were my favourite along with a parade that we just caught that had something to do with the Virgin. There was a lot of singing and throwing of rose petals which is what really caught my attention. After a lunch of indulgent flouters we were back on the road and heading for Oaxaca and I GOT TO DRIVE!!! I love driving and it was so much fun, the Mexican highways are long and windy and it was the perfect way to watch the sunset on another sunny day.
