Trip to Puebla


We took a weekend trip to Puebla. It is a beautiful city filled with history. Wonderful market streets with artists. We drove to a city next to Puebla called Cholula. It has an amazing pyramid and many smaller ones too. The original one was smaller and built for the god of the rain. They then built over that a much larger one for the god of the sun. When war was coming they covered the whole thing with dirt and planted crops so the enemy would not know it was there. It just looks like a small mountain. It made a fun weekend for us.
