Jennifer had done a lot of research on the surroundings of Puebla, and her verdict was that Tlaxcala was well worth a visit. And she was right. Except for a few descriptors, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
On the bus to Tlaxcala:
Escalinata de los Héroes:
Downtown street. Behind, the Parroquia de San José:

Through the Calzada de San Francisco to the Ex-Convento de San Francisco, then up the steps, towards the Iglesia del Christo del Buen Vecino:
Then back down the hill towards downtown. We visited the Palacio de Gobierno to see the murals that tell the story of Tlaxcala:.
Then up another hill, to the Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Ocotlán, one of the nicest churches we'd visit on our entire trip:
All this walking around was good for us, but we were exhausted by the end. And since no vacation-day is complete without a decent cappuccino with dessert, we stopped downtown again for a treat:
