May was a busy month and one of the highlights was hosting my first visitors to Mexico City. My friend is a photographer and somehow, over the two weeks that she was here, I rarely saw her with her camera out yet she managed to capture some great images including these photos of potato chip vendors in downtown Puebla.

Chips, or papitas (not to be confused with papas fritas, the word for french fries), are a favorite street snack in Mexico. They’re often prepared fresh and served with hot sauce and lime. You can find these carts in cities and towns throughout Mexico. Some stay in one place while others move around, often attached to the front of a bicycle.

I must say that I love the luminosity of that umbrella against the cold colours on of the wall and street :)
