Stopped over in Puebla City on our way to Oaxaca and had the best lunch ever. So mole was invented here. I’ve had it in the US and in other parts of Mexico (like Puerto Vallarta) but mole poblano is something else -incomparable. My husband tried some toasted grasshoppers while we were roaming around the market, but I preferred to focus on the beautiful Talavera pottery. We visited the Church of Santo Domingo and the Chapel of the Rosario. Not since St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican have I seen so much gold and such overwhelmingly intricate work. So many stunning (and mostly blue and white) tiles are incorporated into the facades of buildings here that it sometimes feels like Tunisia or Morocco. Love how cultures and histories intersect in the most unexpected ways.
