I beg to differ with you on what´s going on in Puebla. Yes, the zocalo is somewhat crowded, and the tour buses are filled. However, the Parian,a 4 square block of small shops, is nearly empty of shoppers. The tianguis,a local flea marke that is usually bustling on Sundays, isn´t even open for business. Los Sapos,an area of bars and sidewalk sellers, is deserted. Avenida Juarez, where all the week-end action is, was a ghost town last night.  I lived in Puebla for 2 years, come back twice a year, and have been here since April 20th. As the fishing guide once said, ¨you should´a been here last week¨. Talk to the taxi drivers, bus drivers, local shop owners and bartenders if you want to know how business is doing.http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/05/02/1920004.aspx#1920676Mon, 04 May 2009 00:36:32 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1920676KelliPeople who visit Puebla from Mexico City are tourists; domestic tourists, but still...maybe we need to get off the idea that only foreigners can be tourists.
