Month: March 2018

We went in search of Popocatepetl (known as Popo here) and, after chasing around the next town, we finally found it by climbing up a pyramid and straining our eyes into the distance. See if you can see it too!

We arrived in Puebla yesterday but have had a tough time finding WiFi good enough for photos. We love it here and are spending our time gazing at beautiful (but sometimes rather decrepit) buildings and visiting monuments which are shut.  But some street scenes to be going on with ...

When we came out for a drink last night, it was clear that we had encountered the main Palm Sunday procession, complete with full story on the back of trucks. Note the strong women carrying the float - never seen that before.

Not sure if it okay for a Jew to be handling a Palm cross but Sue says I could pretend it’s a corsage instead. We bought this outside the market where it was freshly woven by a woman making the most beautiful religious objects - everyone walks around with them today.  

Since it is Palm Sunday, we thought you should have some appropriate photos of a re-enactment and various other religiously oriented scenes.
