On Wednesday we went to the nearby town of Cholula. There are the remains of an Aztec pyramid and then a church way up top. The plan was to start at the pyramid base and if we had energy walk up to the church.
Before we started we saw a lot of indigenous women selling handicrafts.
We should have known it was going to be confusing when we bought tickets. At first the ticket office was closed. When I asked around they said it was because the ticke seller had to go get lunch.
When he cane back I could only see or talk to him through this little hole.
Before we could see the pyramid we had to go through the museum
This statue seemed to know we were going to be tricked.We started up the hill which was not signed. We kept going up and up never seeing any pyramid.
Finally we got to the church which was beautiful, but was not a pyramid.
Jeff seems a lot less bothered that we just scaled a mountain by mistake. The church was beautiful. They didn’t allow photos inside which is good because I would post 30.
If it wasn’t cloudy you would see a volcano between the statues.
Also a very ornate door.
We walked back down the hill and asked around until we finally found what was left of the pyramid. It was interesting but woulds have been more so if we had not just walked up a very high hill.
There was a part you could climb which Jeff did. On his way down I mentally reviewed our medical insurance policy.
He made it down the 1500 year old steps without problems. Then it was on to tacos.
Is this where the hot sauce got it’s name?
Yes! I didn’t even think of that but I just looked it up. Dang it. We would have had some Cholula in Cholula.
Fortunately, you now know a group of nurses and a dentist in town. So you seem to be pretty plugged into the medical system in town
Ha, yes we know to go to the frobt of the Cathedral for medical issues and the mini mart for dental issues.
Beautiful pics!
Thank you!!!!
