Puebla

Mexico City was incredible. There are no words to explain just how big it was, so I´m not even going to try! We braved the metro and saw Frida Kahlo´s Blue house and Trotsky´s house too (complete with bullet holes over the headboard). On Tuesday night we decided to drink tequila: I´m not going to say any more about that because I´m feeling sick again! Suffice to say, yesterday was a write-off for me (unfortunately), but Haz and J managed to see the pyramids and their pictures look amazing.

We managed to get to Puebla (after a slight delay after one of us -not mentioning any names - managed to leave her passport at the hostel so we had to return to get it) which is 2 hours away from Mexico City. Puebla has a huge Spanish influence and is called the ´City of Angels´due to its 70 churches. We arrived at 10pm and came to the hostel which turned out to be wonderful. Very Moroccan with its tiles and courtyard, and very peaceful. just what we needed after frantic Mexico City! We´ve met 2 guys here who are great fun, and we´re going to go and watch one of them eat grasshoppers this morning.... a speciality of here apparently!

Tonight: a 14 hour bus ride to Puerto Escondido - a gorgeous place on the Pacific Coast.
Gotta go and eat grasshoppers, chat soon!
Love Al (and Haz and J) xxx
