MY TRIP TO PUEBLA
Hi, Cindy

How is your holiday? My trip to Puebla is amazing! Puebla is in the middle of

Mexico, and it is very big! Over 5 million people live here. There are two
volcanoes near Puebla, and you can see them from the city.
Puebla is a beautiful city, and it is also very old. I'm going to the Cholula
pyramid tomorrow. Do you know that it is almost 2000 years old?

Puebla is a great city for food and art. We are going to the Parian soon. It is a
huge market with Mexican arts and crafts. One day, we plan to eat at the
Cholula food market. I want to have chicken with mole poblano. Mole
poblano is a sauce with chocolate and chillies. It is typical in Puebla. We are
also going to the National Museum of Mexican Railways. It is a cool train
museum. I can't wait to hear about your holiday!

Your friend,
Isabel.

1. Where is Isabel?
2. What is Isabel’s friend’s name?
3. How many people live in Puebla?
4. What can you visit near and in Puebla?
5. What is mole poblano?
6. What can you see at the National Museum of Mexican Railways?
