This weekend we took a trip to the quaint little city Puebla, known as "City of the Angels." Rich in Spanish history, puebla is well-known for its' fine cuisine and colorful, hand-painted pottery known as Talavera.
We stayed in an ex-convent with a beautiful courtyard (see above picture) where they served a fabulous breakfast buffet.
In Puebla we discovered:
Tacos árabe (I´m thinking they dethrone the previous favorite Tacos al Pastor)
Street vendors selling churros filled with chocolate, nutella, or caramel
A great talavera shop with hand-painted "Families are Forever" ceramics (they have lots of missionaries as customers)
The best hot chocolate from a tiny street café, steamy hot with mounds of whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate
(Too late)that it is actually more efficient to pay a taxi rather than try to find things on your own. They know that the even streets are on one side of Reforma and the odd ones are on the other, saving hours of walking.
Walking is actually great exercise.
We need a weekend getaway more often!

i think i might break 100 if i lived in puebla.
Come on down! We'll take you there.
i really want one of those churros! they sound amazing! i wouldn't mind visiting there.
They're best from vendors hot off the street. We tried some from a restaurant and they're not as good. The first night there was a line waiting to get churros from a street vendor and she ran out when she got to us.
This is where I get to go for Christmas!!!
Mom, I can't wait to come.
Oops that was shady. but brandon's coming too, so it works. He just doesn't call you Mom.
Great! It should be fun. We'll go to Cholula as well. It's only 5 minutes away. I couldn't talk dad-the-bad into it on this trip.
