Culture in Puebla


We're finding many surprises tucked away in corners, rising high into the air, placed on walls, on display in arts and culture buildings or walking down the street like these three women who were definite oddities receiving money for their efforts.

                       

I used a 300 mm lens for this photo. Even so, the woman on the right might have spotted me.

                

                

           

          The exteriors of many buildings have exquisite tiles.

         

                       Last night in town.

          

                       

                       

                                             Our lunch haunt.


                      

      

      

        Corn used to be small like the cobs on either side.

         

                          Tilling the earth.


          

         The arts and cultura building

        

                    An ancient grinding stone.

       

     

        This beautiful example of Alebrijes work is priced at US $300.

     

       

                The Red Cross operates here.

                

                 

                       A typical breakfast spot.


The Chapel of the Rosary, the Eighth Wonder of the World, is a baroque jewel of the 17th century, noted for its gold foil.

                                     

              Photos don't do this church justice. It's stunningly eye popping.

                 

           

Gold everywhere.

          

          

                  Tiled pulpit.

       

             

       

                 The tabernacle.

         


              See you in Cholula tomorrow.  Hope you are cosy wherever you are.
