Entering into Puebla - Eyes Wide Open
Before coming to Mexico I had never heard of Puebla, but so many great Mexicans recommended I come to Puebla…..so I did. Never looked at a map, and never read anything about it.
Driving accross valleys and mountains, and then you come into the Valley……Puebla. The Volcano standing sentry. I’ve been told the roots of Mexico are in Puebla, it is old. The first thing one sees when entering Puebla…..is a modern City. I could not believe my eyes. New buildings for an old place, new buildings trying to live up to the precedent set by the history of the place itself. Looking around you see a world class city full of life and pride. We drove to the heart of town where we entered our 400 year old courtyard apartment. Old to new, new to old, and everything in between. A City living its own history in the present.
