Tlaxcala - photos 2




Tlaxcala:
- La "Plaza de Toro" or the "bull ring" was the first plaza de Toro of the continent built during the 19th Century and still in use,
- We were surprised to hear some music from the Zocalo on Friday late afternoon. Coming closer we saw lots of people from all the ages dancing to the music of the local band. Everybody was smiling and happy to show their knowledge on ballroom dances. Very nice ambiance!
- And Sunday we were also surprised to see these people playing chess on the Zocalo. The chess boards were placed here, we supposed, by the municipality and were free to be used,
- Lee tried the famous "mole poblano con pollo", chicken in a sauce called mole speciality of the nearby city of Puebla. The sauce was made of chocolate, cinnamon and nuts with various hot peppers. Lee said it was an interesting experience but will not add this dish to his most favourite meal!!! Not for my taste at all either!!
