Bonampak San Cristobal de las Casas

... bus was due to leave. Ho hum.<br><br>I had no need to worry about sweating in San Cris itself, however. The city is situated at over 2000m above sea level, making for pleasant days (when sunny at least) and chilly nights, with the added bonus of being able to snuggle up under blankets for a proper nights sleep instead of writhing around in vain trying to find a non-perspiration-drenched square inch of bed clothes.<br><br>San Cristobal ...

... Mexique à avoir vécu ici. <br>Le troisième personnage associé à Chihuahua est Miguel Hidalgo, curé et révolutionnaire qui fut fusillé dans le palais du gouverneur, aujourd'hui orné de magnifiques peintures murales represantant l'histoire du Mexique.<br><br>

... na nek nacin izpovejo Bogu brez posrednika. Ob riganju se jim dusa ocisti grehov. Videla sem tudi zelo nenavadno molitev ( za njih vsakdanjo), kjer je vsa druzina molila za zdravje malega decka. Deklica je v rokah drzala kokos in oce je med molitvijo kokos nekajkrat podrzal pred telesom bolnega decka. Ko je molitev opravil, je kokos dal na kolena in ji zlomil vrat. Verjamejo, da kokos prevzame bolezen nase. Potem kokos dajo v plasticno vrecko in jo doma ...

... centre to a hostel near the station in the hope of snaffling some suckers but the place was empty and the owner a complete nutter, who seemed to think we were trouble making party animals - time for him to get a new career!! The Pancho Villa museum, with it's appalling English translations(maybe I should hire myself out to proof read for government bodies e.g. tourist offices, museums, etc as they all seem to need a lot of help!), was a welcome diversion.

... So what popped up was Coke lol lol off i go to the local tienda and purchased 6 2.5 L of Coke and carried them back to the Posada to present them to Lupe.

... indicating that he traveled over 80,000 kilometers in his explorations of the Canadian West. Considering that the traveling was done in unknown, mostly hostile territory by canoe, horseback or walking, my moniker - "the ultimate traveler" - is well earned.<br><br>Another one that comes to mind is Alexander von Humboldt (1776-1859) after whom a street is named here in Victoria, BC. He traveled widely in the exploration ...

With Bartek visitting us in Mexico we drove overnight to Chihuahua (turnes out to be quite an exhausting trip from Monterrey) to catch the famous Chihuahua-Pacifico train - ChePe. The train crosses almost 700km via Copper Canyon mountain area from the desertly north-central Mexico to the Pacific Coast at the Gulf of California. Some of the views are breathtaking ...

... of the rain. We're finally chased inside by the weather. Then the lake appears. I'ts huge and moody. We finally arrive around 7:15, more than an hour late due to the rain delay at the train station. We're miles from town, in the middle of fields. A sigh of relief, our bus is here. But with the lower elevation, the humidity is smaking us in the face, and steaming my glasses. It's not a long ride to El Fuerte and tired from hanging on the handhold of the train, I ...
