Carlos' Hometown ... Mi Pueblo

San Mateo Ozolco is Carlos' hometown in central Mexico close to the city of Puebla and also close to Mexico City. With its magnificent volcanoes and fascinating customs, Ozolco is a great place to visit. These are some photos from when Bri visited Carlos' family. The orange house is his cousin, Sylvester's.

In the old kitchen, making carne de res.

Pascuala, Carlos' mom, in the new kitchen making mole, a traditional Pueblan dish - hers is the most delicious ever! With his brother, Saul, watching in the background.


Popocateptl and Iztaccihuatl are two volcanoes that are very close to Carlos' hometown. Popo is active. There is a legend about the two volcanoes. Read it here.
