Mexico City, Week 6

This was the last week of my three week class. We had our final exam and our oral presentation (I did mine on Luis Miramontes, inventor of the birth control pill). After our last day, some of my classmates and I went to Xochimilco for a fun afternoon of boating on the canals. On Saturday, I went to Puebla and on Sunday to Cholula.

We had all sorts of snacks for our little cruise. 

At the dock, the colorful trajineras all lined up. 

Angels for sale in Puebla—it was a very church-filled city. 

La iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios on top of the Great Pyramid

Some folk dancing in Cholula’s main square. 

Puebla’s cathedral lit up at night. It was a big night for weddings—I stumbled upon 2 just walking around. 

Some of the special tiles that adorn some of the buildings in Puebla. 

Things got really raw at the market in Cholula.
