Sites of Puebla

I am horrible at taking pictures.  Hopefully I'll get better soon.  Until I have photos to share, I thought I'd tell you some of the things you might see in Puebla.  I have seen a Walmart, Samsclub, Dominos, Applebees, two Starbucks, Krispy Kreme, OfficeMax, and a Pizza Hut.  There are probably a few other places that I don't remember.  I am very much reminded how much the world is really shrinking in some ways.  However, one sight that I simply love is the Popocatepetl.  It is the volcano near Puebla.  Some days you can't really see, but the days that you can it is really impressive.  It has been releasing ash lately.  I've never experienced volcanic ash before and it wasn't quite what I expected.  Here, it is just like a very fine layer of dust.  Yesterday was the first day I got a good look at the Popo.  My class is on the fourth floor and the morning was more clear than the previous mornings and I was surprised how big the volcano looked, and yet today I couldn't see it!  I could only make out one side.  Here is a picture of it that I found online.

Everything else is going well.  Pancho and I have been busy with moving and getting settled here.  I have had my classes and planing for Italy while Pancho is taking care of a lot of things here (phone, utilities, etc.) and getting ready to start work!  Keep praying for us!  : )
