Puebla is right down the road from the campground in Cholula, but we decided to grab a hotel room for a couple of nights anyway. We’re finding that it’s really the best way for us to explore a city properly, and with nice rooms going for good prices it’s a fairly easy decision.
People making-out in the plazas is the norm here in Mexico. You really can’t turn around in a busy plaza without seeing some friskiness.
Tacos árabe. This is a Puebla thing, that I now wish would spread and take over the entire world. Arabic style tacos are simply tacos that have replaced the beloved tortilla with a Middle-Eastern flatbread. Combined with what had to be the juiciest pastor ever, it was incredible.
We found the train museum, which turned out to be what was probably our favorite museum of all time. Lowe was in heaven, racing from one train to the next. We couldn’t keep up. It’s fun when you see that spark of enthusiasm for something in your kids’ eyes. Ouest was digging it to. The museum was only about ten blocks from the center of town but contained probably sixty or more train cars, and it cost next to nothing. To top it off they had a great photography exhibit going on. This stop made our first day in Puebla a huge success.
The zócalo, filled as usual by balloon sellers. If you’ve ever wondered how the world can be running out of helium look no further than Mexico’s plaza for an explanation. The plaza was packed in the afternoon despite it being a Thursday. Anxious to see what it’s like on the weekend.

Awesome. Simply awesome.
school is pretty much just out so everyone is likely celebrating that. one of my kids went to school today but mainly for just doing tramites. lots of kids didn;t show up all week. so it will likely be getting more crowded from now on
Nice blog entry, I hope you get to try some good mole. I have a logistical question…So when you go into a big city are you paying a parking fee for your RV and a hotel room bill?
We leave the bus at the campground, and they generally charge just a few dollars a day to do so.
Wow, “Friskiness”, I like that. I think I will ask my wife if she is feeling frisky tonight. My son would just go crazy, in that museum, I have put it on my list.
