SANTA MARIA TONANTZINTLA EN CHOLULA |
COLONIA DEL MAR is high up in the hills with dirt and rutted roads and lots of homeless dogs. The clinic took place in the donated garage space of the Chilpansingo restaurant. Thank you to owner Rocio Ochoa, to the volunteers who collected homeless animals and brought them to our clinic and to the two high school students who bagged donated dog kibble for distribution.

BOLSITAS DE CROQUETAS PARA LOS PERROS QUE NECESITAN - COLONIA DEL MAR |
One of the street dogs, a brown and white Pittie mix described as having had "many litters," was especially appealing. After giving her several pats and strokes, she stood up on her hind legs, gently put her front legs on my shoulders and began to lick my face. The woman who feeds her hopes to find a home for this very loving dog. She will be a great and grateful pet. Email contact below photo if interested.

STA. MARÍA DE TONANTZINTLA - CHOLULA |
Construction of the church in nearby Cholula began in 1594, with the intricate stucco work beginning at the end of the 17th century and final completion of the church at the end of the 20th century. Santa María Tonantzintla is the only indigenous baroque style church not destroyed by the Spaniards.

Bedazzled. Entering the church, I immediately got goosebumps. It felt like being inside an enormous, fantastically beautiful and elaborately adorned Fabergé egg. The interior is a kaleidoscopic riot of intensely bright colors, with gilded figures of animals, flowers, birds and headdresses. Saints are both dark skinned with dark hair and dark eyes, or pale skinned with blue eyes and blonde hair. Angels are portrayed as wide-eyed babies and children with eagle wings. There are absolutely no empty spaces here.

LA IGLESIA DE NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LOS REMEDIOS - SOBRE EL GRAN PIRÁMIDE DE CHOLULA |
Eight miles from Cholula and four miles outside the city of Puebla is the Great Pyramid of Cholula, also known as "Tlachihualtepetl," "made-by-hand mountain" in the Nahuatl language. Approaching a large hill, one sees the the very pretty terra cotta and yellow painted Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios perched on top. It is the usual way of how the Spaniards in Mexico did things - build what was sacred to themselves on top of what was sacred to others.
