First Day visiting the City of Puebla - Downtown

Dear Audience,

I apologise I have not been continuing posting as often as before. I needed to spend time with family and friends in Mexico for the last two weeks of my trip and a lot of catching up with them needed to happen. Then, coming back to Australia, I have been extremely busy with work, courses and an internship in Arts Administration. This internship has given me an opportunity to work for Local Government NSW in the Arts & Culture department. This opportunity was great not to be missed as I gathered experience working in Events Organisation and Coordination of Forums that took place this 26th and the 27th of May, 2014 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney as part of The Vivid Festival. These forums are finished and the stress and high responsibility to complete deadlines have finished too. The Vivid Festival was very enjoyable and gave me this great opportunity to meet and work with key people in the Museums, Galleries, Councils and Events Directors.

Now that I got a bit of more time, I am trying to complete my travel blog of my Mexican trip, even if I am back to Australia.

The photos you will see are from the week after Easter Sunday. I decided to go to Puebla by bus from Queretaro. My two brothers who live in Puebla went to receive me at the bus station.

Puebla is a very traditional colonial city with a lot of richness in Architecture, Food Cuisine, Art Craft, Ceramics,  History. I hope you enjoy these colourful photos I took of the Downtown of Puebla, where chuches, hotels, restaurants and universities converge altogether.
