We made the 2 hour trip to Puebla the same night after we had visited Xochimilco.
Puebla is a large, colonial city that is affluent and full of culture. It has a beautiful fountain in front of large church in the heart of the zocalo.
Mike and I began our visit by trekking to the zocalo from our hostel for amazing tortas. We ended a nice evening being serenaded by Mexican ballads while eating churros and drinking hot chocolates.
More on this later!

Ok, this is later, we´re now in Oaxaca-but let me tell you more about Puebla!
While there we had the chance to eat excellent cemitas, which is a larger, blown up and exploded with cheese version of a torta. It´s needless to say....excellent. The drink is mixture of milk and bananas which is pretty good. The juices here are my favorite however!
Also buenisimo was the Sopa Azteca, which comes with Avocado, torillas strips, cheese and chilies. MMMmmmm. Quite good, so far I am sticking to the vegetarian options. Check out Mike´s blog for the food with meat!
Ohh, and the best Quesadilla ever was made with Flor de Calabasas, chili, onions, mushrooms, cheese, cheese and more cheese. Wow - street food...I think it cost 14 pesos or about a dollar. So very very good.
On Sunday we went to the Casa de Cultura for a Ballet Folklorico production which was gratis (free) for the people. it was just beautiful and displayed music, costumes and dances from all the different regions of Mexico. It was really colorful and much of the community came out to sit and watch the show.

In Puebla we did a bit of resting and upodating blogs just for YOU! I admit, I think it´s fun to make and see the blogs. We left Puebla in the afternoon and took a 5 hour bus to Oaxaca city. And here we remain....for a couple days at least.
