First trip to Puebla

We took our first trip this weekend to the big city of Puebla! Wow. I am in love with that place. There is so much beauty there. Such incredible architecture and many amazing places to visit. We left early Friday morning and got back on Sunday evening. We stayed in a nice little hostel in the center of the city.


This cathedral was across the street from the hostel. It was in the center of a big city park where they hold so many activities and events every day.


We paid about 90 pesos to take a 3 hour bus tour of historic places in Puebla. Baylee and I were having a good time on top of the double decker bus!











A "tree house"
This is the San Francisco cathedral. It is considered to be one of the "wonders of Mexico." It has tunnels that lead from under the cathedral to a an open piece of land a little ways away.




The gang outside of the cathedral. Mallory, Becca, Baylee, Kelsey, Ashely, Me, and Robbie.

    Eating tacos for lunch! Ashley, Robbie, Me, and a friend we made named Paul. He is from England and is currently touring all of Central America.


We found a cool workout park while we were there. Obviously this picture is very poor quality but, here's Baylee, Me, Ashley, and Kelsey getting our work out on. We have a good time together.














On Sunday afternoon the big city park had so many activities going on. There was a live orchestra, a story telling tent, clowns, and these people in the picture were dressed up to promote their charity organization. They were taking donations so they can purchase new books for the elementary schools in Puebla.


I'm absolutely crazy about this place. We had such a fun time getting away from our routine and seeing more of Mexico. Many more vacations like this to come. Buenos tardes!
