We left Oaxaca early after another great breakfast. The old road between Oaxaca and Puebla proved to be a great experience. Riding through the internal mountains that separate these 2 states allowed us to see a little more of the real Mexico.
Lots and lots of not-stop, tight turns, up and down the mountains from 5,000ft in Oaxaca, to 8,000ft in the mountains, down to 3,000ft in Teotlitan where the Green Macau Sanctuary is located, and back up to 7,000ft in Puebla. Great ride. We even made friends with the state police (see picture) and I managed to score another patch for my jacket from them.
Arrived to Puebla around 4pm and headed straight for a great lunch in the open patio at the convent turned hotel where we are staying. Later, we went out for a walk in town -- churros, cappuccinos, hot chocolate, people watching, picture taking, crafts and arts shopping. Just another day in another great Mexican town.
Tomorrow we head north to San Miguel de Allende as we make our way back to Texas -- hopefully it is warm by the time we get there!
