Story written 31 August 2008
Puebla beckoned my soul the first time I had that infamous concoction of chocolate and chilis. The architecture, history and Talavera pottery keeps it there.
Vendors
A large part of the Mexican economy is off the books. Street vendors in virtually every city and village in Mexico ply their wares, handicrafts, produce, trinkets, icons, music and street performances to feed themselves and their families, often working 12-hour days, seven days a week and employing the entire family.

Feast Day, Virgin of Guadalupe
A vendor sells calendars on the steps of the Church of Guadalupe during the Feast Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mex. According to tradition, the Virgin Mary spoke to Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin in his native Nahuatl tongue on the Hill of Tepeyac near Mexico City Dec. 9-12, 1531, with instructions that the bishop build a church at the site of her appearance. Millions of Indians converted to Catholicism as a result.
