Got
lost getting to Puebla – again. Wasted
two hours. Oh well. Once we were on the right freeway it was
smooth sailing from there.
Stayed
with Jose’s aunt and uncle Alma and Rollin.
Such lovely people. Really warm
and welcoming. The next day Alma took us
on an early morning walk to the nearby pyramid that the Catholic’s built a
church on top of. It’s a lovely church,
but really? Really? Mmmmm… Can’t see much of the pyramid now but
apparently it was even bigger than the ones at Teotihuacan.
Then
Alma took us to a church decorated in Indian Baroque. Very detailed and ornate but with a distinct
indigenous style; incorporating tropical fruits, chillies etc i.e. all the
things that they would want to have when they get to heaven. The faces of the angels were quite Indian and had
different expressions showing their wonder and amazement from being in heaven.
