After our delicious
lunches of gorditas, we made our way to a local park in Puebla. It was
beautiful and seemed to be a popular spot for young couples! We also saw 3 different quinceaneras while we were there. The park was next to a mall, so we were able to go inside to use the bathroom and get a break from all the sun.

The next stop on our list was to visit a pre-columbian museum filled with great artifacts and art. They didn't allow cameras past the foyer, but I did get some pretty cool pictures with the chair/statue thing. |

Aka - the name of the chair we were sitting in. |
After the museum we did a little more exploring and we ended up stopping in another mall for an ice cream break.

After ice cream we attempted to find our hostel that we had made reservations at, but that was a lot easier said than done. The hostel was in a tiny city outside of Puebla called Cholula and we got very lost on our way to it. We walked around for about an hour with no real idea of where we were going, and once we actually found the hostel they informed us that they did not have our reservation and they did not have any available places for us. So the next adventure of finding a place to stay began. Luckily Edwin had GPS on his phone and he guided us right to where we needed to go. The hotel was pretty sketchy, but it was only about $12 USD per night, so you pretty much get what you pay for.

| in the midst of being lost we found this beautiful dog who was so nice! |

there was a bell that literally went off every ten minute starting at 8 AM.
The next day was filled with cemitas, ruins, cathedrals, sightseeing, and even a little tribal dance show. |
 |
| Cemitas for breakfast! |
 |
| ancient ruins are pretty awesome. |
All in all I think I can say
Puebla was a success!
