I had heard a lot about Puebla and the Chilean woman in my hostel room asked if I wanted to go with her, so we decided to make a day trip out of it.  It was a nice town.  It’s about two hours from Mexico City so it ends up being quite a bit of time on the bus, but I think it was worth it.  It’s known for it’s colonial architecture and beautiful park.  We walked around a bit and then she did a bus tour while I just sat in the park reading my book.  Then we had a great lunch, did some shopping, and headed home.

We had an interesting experience in the taxi ride back to the bus stations.  Taxi drivers are known for driving a bit chaotically, but I actually thought our guy was doing ok.  Well, he ended up getting pulled over.  We’re still not really sure why.  The police made him get out of the car and they talked for quite a while.  Eventually he came over to us and said we had to get out and find another taxi.  This proved a tad problematic since we weren’t on a major street anymore, but it all worked out in the end.
