we went to puebla for the weekend, this is a view of the volcano from my hotel room (yep, i got to stay in a hotel and have a break from my host family)! we visited the ruins in cholula, several cathedrals, spent time in the zocalo, drank coffee at cafes and met some interesting locals at a bar, and saw a beautiful balet folklorico performance!
we visited cholula and the great pyramid of cholula. the pyramid / temple is the largest human-made pyramid in the world (by volume). we had to go through underground tunels to reach the ruins.
here is a view from Barranca Altavista in Cuernavaca.
we visited the mercado municipal in cuernavaca, which i loved!
we visited Tepoztlan, where we learned of the local people´s resistance against the government´s plans to build a golf club and destroy the forest the people live in and where there is an ancient pyramid.
this is a seed mural that represents the areas of the city, the indigenous and catholic religions, and that local artists re-create once a year.
sorry i havent been able to post more often or post more photos... the computer at the internet cafe are incredibly slow, but i´ll try to make it back to a computer after our trip to taaxco this weekend!
