Puebla <\/strong>is a city in east-central Mexico, southeast of Mexico City. It\u2019s known for its culinary history, colonial architecture and pottery. The painted Talavera tiles adorning numerous buildings are locally produced. The Renaissance-era Puebla Cathedral has tall bell towers and overlooks the central square, the Z\u00f3calo. Museo Amparo offers an extensive display of pre-Hispanic art, such as ceramics and mural fragments. <\/p>\n\u2015 Google<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Puebla has an elevation of 7,005 ft, tempering it’s low latitude (19\u00b002\u2032N). It is the forth largest city in Mexico, with a metro population of 3,344,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Puebla is surrounded by volcanos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Puebla is located at the Valley of Puebla also known as the Valley of Cuetlaxcoapan, a large valley surrounded on four sides by the mountains and volcanoes of the Trans-Mexican volcanic belt. It is located 40 kilometres (25 miles) east of the Popocat\u00e9petl <\/strong>and Iztacc\u00edhuatl <\/strong>volcanoes, giving residents views of their snow-topped peaks. Due to the proximity to the Popocat\u00e9petl, Puebla is some times exposed to the ash and dust that emanate from the volcano during its active periods, the most recent occurring on 19 May 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\nWikipedia<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The highest volcano in Mexico is Pico de Orizaba<\/strong> (also known as Citlalt\u00e9petl). It\u2019s not only the tallest volcano in Mexico but also the third-highest peak in North America, standing at an impressive 5,636 meters (18,491 feet) above sea level. Pico de Orizaba is a dormant stratovolcano located on the border between the states of Puebla and Veracruz.<\/p>\nElder G<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Iztacc\u00edhuatl<\/strong>, dormant volcano situated on the M\u00e9xico-Puebla state line in central Mexico. It lies 10 miles (16 km) north of its twin, Popocat\u00e9petl, and 40 miles (65 km) south-southeast of Mexico City. Iztacc\u00edhuatl (from the Nahuatl for \u201cwhite woman\u201d) has three summits, the highest one reaching 17,159 feet<\/strong> (5,230 m), but no crater. As seen from the federal capital, the snow-covered peaks resemble the head, breast, and feet of a recumbent woman\u2014hence the popular designation of sleeping woman. Iztacc\u00edhuatl last erupted in 1868.<\/p>\nWikipedia<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Nahuatl: \u201cSmoking Mountain\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Popocat\u00e9petl<\/strong>, volcano on the border of the states of M\u00e9xico and Puebla, central Mexico. Popocat\u00e9petl lies along Mexico\u2019s Cordillera Neo-Volc\u00e1nica at the southern edge of the Mexican Plateau, 10 miles (16 km) south of its twin, Iztacc\u00edhuatl<\/strong>, and 45 miles (72 km) southeast of Mexico City. The perpetually snowcapped, symmetrical cone of Popocat\u00e9petl rises to an elevation of 17,930 feet (5,465 metres), surpassed only by Mexico\u2019s tallest volcano, Pico de Orizaba (18,406 feet [5,610 metres]).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first Spanish ascent of Popocat\u00e9petl is thought to have been made in 1522 by Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s\u2019s men, who needed to acquire sulfur for the manufacture of gunpowder. After lying inactive for more than 70 years, Popocat\u00e9petl erupted in December 1994, causing an ashfall over Puebla. Volcanic activity recurred in March and October 1996, as well as in April 1997, and in December 2000 thousands of villagers were forced to evacuate after another eruption.<\/p>\nBritannica<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Thanks to National Geographic \/ Spain<\/a> for this legend.

Iztacc\u00edhuatl was the most beautiful Tlaxcalan princess ever seen and she deposited her love in the young Popocat\u00e9petl, one of the most handsome and brave warriors of his people.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n They say that before leaving for the war that the Tlaxcaltecas were engaged in against their bitter enemies , the Aztecs, Popocat\u00e9petl asked the chief of his people for the hand of Princess Iztacc\u00edhuatl. The chief granted it to him, but on the condition that he return safe and sound from the war to marry her.<\/p>\n<\/div> Thus, the warrior set off for battle while the princess awaited the return of her love. However, the viperous<\/strong><\/em> tongue of a jealous rival of Popocatepetl intervened in bad faith, deceiving the princess and informing her that her beloved had died in combat. Dragged by grief and sorrow, unaware of her deception, it is said of that beautiful princess that she died of sadness for the loss of her beloved.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n For several days and nights, it is said that the young man, dejected, wandered the streets until he found a way to honor the great love that both professed for each other , and so he ordered a great tomb to be erected under the Sun by piling up 10 hills to raise an enormous mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once built, he took the lifeless body of his princess, and laying her on the top of the mountain , he kissed her for the last time and then, smoking torch in hand, knelt down to watch over her sleep eternally. Since then they remain together. Facing each other. Over time, the snow covered their bodies, which would become two enormous volcanoes that will remain unchanged until the end of time.<\/p>\nNational Geographic \/ Spain<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n That is why, when the warrior Popocat\u00e9petl remembers his beloved Iztacc\u00edhuatl, his heart, which holds the fire of eternal passion, trembles, and his torch catches fire again . That is why, even today, the Popocat\u00e9petl volcano continues to emit plumes of smoke.<\/p>\n– Hector Rodriguez \/ National Geographic Espa\u00f1a Wonsan (Korean pronunciation: [w\u028cn.san]), previously known as Wonsanjin (\u5143\u5c71\u6d25), is a port city and naval base located in Kangwon Province, North Korea, along the eastern side of the Korean Peninsula, on the Sea of Japan and the provincial capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2013, it was announced that Wonsan would be converted into a summer destination with resorts and entertainment. Having spent his childhood years there, Kim Jong Un has expressed significant interest in developing the region, with the construction of new infrastructure such as Kalma Airport, a dual-use civilian international airport and military proving ground.<\/p>\nWikipedia<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Wonsan has a population of about 363,127.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wonsan has long been a popular tourism destination for both Koreans and international visitors. Attractions include Songdowon beach, the site of the Songdowon International Children’s Union Camp, which maintains exceptionally clear and clean water. Pine trees are abundant in the surrounding area, and it has been designated a national sightseeing point. The nearby Kalma Peninsula is to feature a new hotel and a bathing area.<\/p>\nWikipedia<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Remember when President Trump ditched New York and made Florida his official residence? North Korea analysts think leader Kim Jong Un has pulled the same move, Hermit Kingdom-style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to Kim\u2019s health, he\u2019s likely still not dead<\/strong><\/em>, though he hasn\u2019t been seen since May 1 when he visited a fertilizer factory. He may not even be sick, despite COVID-19. Turns out the Rocketman prefers his massive seaside estate in Wonsan<\/strong> as much as Trump loves Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And size matters when it comes to presidential getaways. It certainly did to Dennis Rodman when he was feted by his \u201cfriend for life\u201d Kim when he first visited Wonsan in 2013, calling it \u201clike Hawaii or Ibiza, but he\u2019s the only one who lives there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou could fit six Mar-a-Lagos in Kim\u2019s compound,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Michael Madden, an analyst with 38 North, a website about North Korea, told The Post. \u201cIt\u2019s an amazingly beautiful place where the beaches are kept combed, there are yachts and dinner boats, everything you\u2019d want in this enormous space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kim\u2019s got about 15 different villas scattered around the country as well as a lavish mansion in the heart of the capital, Pyongyang.
