New Year's Eve! We took advantage of the day off, and drove over to Puebla for the day. Julie was feeling a bit under the weather, so we hopped on the Puebla Turibus with cameras in hand. It was actually a really cool trip. We saw the fort where the battle of Puebla was fought. FYI, Cinco de Mayo is not actually a celebration of beer and tacos, but actually the anniversary of this battle!
Afterward we grabbed lunch at el Mural de los Poblanos, checked out the churches and browsed the markets before heading home. Our trusty GPS knew the way, but me....not so much! After a few wrong turned and few "recalculating...when possible make a u-turn", we were back on the right track.
When we got home, we had some snacks, drinks, and played Trivial Pursuit while we watched the ball drop in New York - LIVE via internet!
...What else floats in water? Bread. Apples. Very small rocks. Cider. Gravy. Cherries. Mud.
Churches!
Inside the tallest church in Mexico.
Turibus time!
Wee!
Town Hall decorated for the holidays!
Unlike the low-hanging tree branch face-slapping of the Turibus of Mexico City...
...the Puebla version utilized tangled nests of high-voltage wires!
View of the volcano from the fort.
Churches...
...Spires!
...and more churches!
Lunch started with the world's tiniest soup!
Talavera peacock!
