Tlaxcala is the tiniest of Mexican states, even tinier than New Jersey. We spent just one day there: The first two hours were spent going 20 miles north from Puebla over topes after topes (traffic bumps). The last two were were spent 1/3 lost trying to get back to Puebla.

But in between we had a great time at two adjacent ancient ruins.
