I have been posting photos from my trip to Mexico that I took earlier this year. As with most things, I did them in reverse. I started my travelogue with the city of Taxco and then Cuernavaca. Allow me to correct the chronological timeline.
In July of this year I took another sojourn to Mexico. I had a wonderful time traveling with my sister and her husband for the first part of my trip. We wandered the around the charming colonial town of Puebla, with a church on every corner. In fact, there are seventy churches alone in the historical center. Afterwards, we traveled two hours to Mexico City where I showed them some of my favorites places and discovered some new ones too. After Mexico City they flew back home and I went on to explore the cities of Taxco, Cuernavaca and Tepoztlan.
Puebla has a large historic center with magnificent architecture that has resulted in it being named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its city plaza or zocalo is the perfect place to sit at an outdoor café, drink an espresso and people watch.
Not far from the zocalo is The Mercado de Artesanías (El Parián). It is a pedestrian-only, open-air shopping zone. Here you will see rows of old brick shops selling crafts and souvenirs. Bargaining is essential and a little prayer may help you get that great deal!
Happy Travels!
