Nil and I arrived in Puebla after a 7-8 hours busride on Friday, and we arrived to a very rainy city, something that is pretty diferent from what we have been used to in Guanajuato. Maria from back home has been doing volunteerwork in Puebla, so she knew a couple of people who could host us. We stayed at Erika, a friend o Maria's friend's, really nice girl who made us feel very at home.
The first night we had a couple of beers with her an some friends of her's, a swedish, romanian and italian girl, but we didn't really last that long since neither of us had had much sleep the night before - the last night in Guanajuato.
Saturday we went to Cholula, a small village out from Puebla, with the girls from Friday night. But since it is rainy season it started raining like crazy just as we arrived, but then we had some food until the rain stopped. It was beautiful though, and when the rain stopped we went to have a closer look:

Sunday we went to downtown Puebla with Erika, and later Jorge, Maria's friend, met up with us. I really liked the city center, colonial, lots of markeds and beautiful buildings. Have a look:
Erika and Nil
Teatro Principal - supposedly the oldest theater in Latinamerica that is that is still used.
Traditional handcrafts from Puebla
The cathedral - huge
We bumped in to some people doing typical dances...
... and a group of clowns
The view from the balcony in an important building I can't remember the name of it though.
Barrio del artista
We left Puebla this morning to go to Oaxaca, so now it will be interesting to see what it has to offer, it is supposed to be a really beautiful ity.
