Puebla Travel Video
Puebla Travel Video - Once a bastion of conservatism, Catholicism and tradition, Puebla has come out of its colonial-era shell in recent years. The city retains a fantastically well-preserved center, a stunning cathedral and a wealth of beautiful churches, while younger poblanos (people from Puebla) are embracing the citys increasingly thriving art and nightlife scenes.
The city is well worth a visit, with 70 churches in the historic center alone, more than a thousand colonial buildings adorned with the azulejos (painted ceramic tiles) for which the city is famous, and a long culinary history that can be explored in any restaurant or food stall. For a city of its size, Puebla is far more relaxed and less gridlocked than you might expect.
Incredible Puebla Travel Video!!!

The volcano had a minor eruption in 2005. Following the incident, it began showing signs of increasing activity in January, 2012, with minor incidents in April, 2012, May, 2013, July, 2014, and October, 2015. The latest volcano eruption alert comes after concerns earlier in the month that the 3,850-meter-high Colima volcano, another major volcano in Mexico, was about to have a major eruption. According to the report titled, “Extreme Geo-hazards: Reducing the Disaster Risk and Increasing Resilience,” supervolcanoes are currently a bigger threat than earthquakes, asteroid impacts, and tsunamis. A major eruption of one of the world’s major supervolcanoes, such as the Yellowstone supervolcano in Wyoming, could devastate the planet.

Mexico: 23 Destinations to Spend the Winter Months --------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Guanajato No. 3 of 23 (this is not a ranking) --------------------------------------- -------------------------------- Guanajuato - Monumento al Pipila - Momento Magico Part 2 of 3 --------------------------------------- ------------------------------- During our 42 day trip in Mexico in search of 23 Destinations to Spend the Winter Months, we visited several outstanding towns which had the official designation as Pueblo Mágico or magic town. That reminds me that on our trip we also had what I would call Momentos Mágicos or magic moments. One of them surely was when as we took the Funicular Panoramico Guanaujuato from behind the Teatro Juarez in the centro historico to Monumento al Pipila. It was a moment we shall never forget as on a brilliantly sunny day we took the funicular high above Guanajuato. As the funicular transported us higher and higher, the beautiful, colourful city spread below our feet. It was surrounded by a very rugged landscape and capped by a beautiful plaza and monument that overlook the city. It was a moment of pure joy similar to what we experienced in Angangueo. That is where the crowd pulled us into a Christmas posada procession, blindfolding us and inviting us to take our whacks at the piñata. A moment like al Pipila this would be lost without the presence of a digital camera and fortunately ours was ready and fully charged to take advantage of the situation, as the many attached photos will attest. Yes, there are too many photos but what the heck; it was after all, a momento magico. El Monumento al Pipila, is the 30-foot-high statue built in 1939 in honour of Juan Jose de los Reyes Martinez who was nicknamed El Pipila. The statue looms over Guanajuato and is a symbol of a defining moment in the Mexican independence movement. In 1810, an army led by the Father of Mexican Independence - Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla invaded Guanajuato. The attack on the Spanish royalists was centered on the town's massive granary - the Allodia de Granaditas. It was the young miner nicknamed El Pipila who heroically took the first step of burning the wooden doors to the granary that led to the first major military victory of the independence movement. The statue shows a strong El Papila holding a torch over his head ready to charge the granary door. The inscription on the statue reads: Aún hay otras Alhóndigas por incendiary (There are still other Alhóndigas to burn). In what can only be described as the ups and downs of life, in 1811 the heads of Father Hidalgo and three of his generals were hanging from the four corners of the same granary. The struggle for independence was left for others to complete. Coming Soon: Guanajuato - Jardin Union and Is Guanajuato the Place for You? Questions/Comments: travelswithlobo@yahoo.com

EL SALVADOR: EARTHQUAKE: HOSPITAL
Natural Sound
XFA
Hospitals in El Salvador are struggling to cope with the influx of injured from Saturday's devastating Central American earthquake.
Doctors erected a makeshift ward in the grounds of San Rafael Hospital in the Las Colinas neighbourhood of Santa Tecla, about six miles (10 kilometers) west of the Salvadoran capital.
Some of those injured in the quake, as well as patients already in the hospital, were taken to the temporary facility by staff fearful that further tremors could damage hospital buildings.
Efforts to get aid to those left injured and homeless by the disaster is being hampered by damage to some of the country's main access roads - including the Pan American Highway, a system of highways extending from Alaska through South America.
Landslides and giant boulders left large parts of the Salvadoran stretch impassable.
El Salvador was hardest hit by the earthquake, which struck late on Saturday morning, local time.
The quake was centred off the Salvadoran coast, about 65 miles (105 kilometres) southwest of San Miguel, according to the U-S Geological Survey in Denver, Colorado.
It shattered buildings in several cities in the Central American nation of six (m) million and rocked neighbouring Honduras and Guatemala.
Buildings swayed as far away as Mexico City.
Salvadoran President Francisco Flores declared a national emergency and appealed for international help to search for survivors.
A 1986 earthquake centred near San Salvador killed an estimated 15-hundred people and injured eight-thousand.
