Representation of Puebla’s famed
Talavera (ceramic painting) and
Angels(there is a myth that
Puebla's principle streets were
created by angels). Angels have a
big presence in Puebla. The

Puebla’s fine display of military
vehicles in the parade. Since my
view from the school’s roof wasn't
so good, I borrowed these from
the TV.
And marching bands.
(not that the marching band has
anything to do with tanks or the
military, but I felt this picture just
simply had good color harmony
with the others)

The pole is not normally at an
angle, but in order to get under
bridges on this float it was a must.
The Mexican famous
voladores(flyers), are
representing an indigenous ritual
where 5 men (one on top and four
for each cardinal direction) fly
around this pole 13 times (13 x 4
men = 52 weeks of the year),
supposedly to bless the year for
lots of rain and good crops. You
can see voladores in the state of
Puebla in the cities of Cholula,
Cuetzalan and occasionally others.

Float of the Talavera tile covered
Convent of Santa Rosa where the
famous dishes of “mole Poblano”
and “Chiles en nogada” were
created.
Mole poblano – a slight creamy
sauce that usually covers a piece
of chicken is made up ground
ingredients: chile ancho, chile
pasilla, chile mulato, chile chipotle,
anis seed, sesame seed, peanuts,
garlic, salt and some more
surprising ingredients: banana,
sugar, cracker/bread crumbs,
cinnamon and cocoa.
Chiles en nogada – Stuffed chile
poblano covered with a rich pecan
or walnut cream sauce served with
pomegranate and green garnish.
The green of the chile and garnish,
the red of the pomegranate and
the white cream sauce make
tribute to the colors of the
Mexican flag. You can eat this
dish starting in late July. Although
the traditional day to eat chiles en
nogada (the date they were first
served) is August 28.

Of course where there's a
celebration, there’s got to be
things to eat and buy.
Here we have ice cream, ice pops,
cold sodas, t-shirts, fried snacks,
cotton candy, peanuts and other
assorted nuts(check the wheel
barrow) and stepping stools to see
over the masses.
