  • Casa de Alfenique

    Matt was not impressed by the fancy Colonial house

    image

    It had weird needlepoint

    image

    And expensive but uncomfortable looking chairs

    image

    It had big rooms

    image

    But teeny tiny staircases

    image

    There was lots of pottery in the kitchen

    image

    And a weird little oven

    image

    And a big stove

    image

    The chapel was bigger than some churches we’ve seen

    image

    It has a little courtyard with a fountain in the middle

    image

    And a creepy hollow eyed goat cow

  • Lucha Libre

    We went to watch people dance in their underwear.

    image

    They had really pretty underwear.

    image

    Most of them had more elaborate costumes but then stripped down to their underwear.

    image

    They flipped upside down.

    image

    They stood on each other’s backs.

    image

    And gave each other hugs

    image

    Even though they didn’t seem to like each other very much.

    image

    This was Kerri’s favourite.

    image

    She called him the pretty blue grinch.

    image

    Because he fought the Santa skeletons.

  • Puebla

    This is a church.

    image

    This is a steeple

    image

    This is a square without many people.

    image

    Kerri should leave the poetry for the people in the Arts Center.

    image

    Puebla’s buildings are colourful

    image

    The benches face away from the street toward the colourful buildings.

    image

    Matt had a shot with goat cheese. It was tasty.

    image

    Some of the doorways were also colourful.

    image

    And there were colourful banners overhead.

    image

    Kerri made Matt stand in the picture frame because that’s what picture frames are for

    image

    The street with the markets is actually prettier without the frame, but that’s cheating.

    image

    The sky was pretty at sunset.

    image

    But it wasn’t as colourful as the buildings

    image

    Matt ate black mole, which is chocolate

    image

    Kerri had red mole, which the guide said was not spicy. She lied. This was the day after Kerri had trouble eating a potato taco with no sauce because it was too spicy. Mexico is not going well for Kerri.
