Casa de Guadalupe Hotel San Cristobal de las Casas

... the ages´´ - the Mexicans were queueing round the block to see this one.<br><br>I got the train down to somewhere unpronouncable to see some canals which are a World Heritage Site, but for the Mexicans they are just a place to get ******. They all hire these massive wooden punts and climb aboard with friends, family, shed loads of food and beer, and sometimes their own private band. I like their style. It starts off quite fun, but soon gets rather boring when your boat is stuck in a ...

... und zurueck, bis wir den richtigen Eingang zur Lagune gefunden haben. Dort waren dann Ric*************trealer, Adam und ein paar andere aus dem Hostel, mit denen wir uns zuvor verabredet hatten. Ich bin trotz Regen grad ins Wasser gesprungen und konnte dort mit 3 oder 4 riesen Schildkroeten tauchen. Superschoene Erfahrung. Die erste Schildkroete hat mich eher erschrocken, aber nachdem ich gemerkt habe, das die absolut kein Interesse an einem zeigen, konnte ...

... orrore.<br>Per il resto del giorno ci limitiamo a camminare lungo i viali del centro, al momento di salire in camera ci accorgiamo della fatica di essere a 2200 mt, l'ostello è subdolo tu credi di dover salire al terzo piano, ma loro hanno due piani non conteggiati (dove c'è la cucina e l'altro con la sala tv) così in realtà devi arrivare al quinto. Dobbiamo organizzarci bene, perchè una volta scesi, se ti accorgi di aver dimenticato qualcosa, sono tutti cavoli tuoi risalire!!

... EZLN documentaries, the only other place the movement was visible was in the street vendors hawking t-shirts, balaclavas and Zapatista figurines.<br><br>Some quick correspondance with a friend of mine who recently did some volunteer work in the region pointed me in the right direction: in order to get a real taste of the movement, it is necessary to travel to one of the caracoles such as Oventic which basically function as the<br ...

Hi all We are finally back in Mexico. Yesterday we left Lake Atilan (which, in contrast to the day before, looked like a mill pond - the views as we climbed away from it were pretty spectacular) and had a big driving day to get us across the border to San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. Given that it was our one really long day in the van, the drive wasn´t too bad. We left the lake at 7.30am ish, and got here - having gained an hour ...

... voyages, the last of which was started in 1776, to explore the regions of the Pacific Ocean.<br><br>http://www.lucidcafe.com/ library/95oct/jcook.html<br><br>What all of these explorers have in common is the desire to discover the unknown - in geography and in culture. It was Captain Cook's entry into the Hawaiian culture as a God that eventually cost him his life. (When that God-like perception was replaced by his ...

... Mexco's first indigenous saint. Much of the religious iconography shows the image of the virgin depicted in rose petals. the story goes that in 1531 Juan Diego was walking oer the hill on which the Basilica now stands and was confronted my an appration of the virgin who ordered him to go to the bishop and demand that he build a church on the hill. The bishop refused but later the same month the vigin appeared again to Diego and ordered ...

... Mexican flag from the main square by loads of soldiers playing drums and trumpets. It was quite a spectacle..especially since it was absolutely bucketing down (made me homesick for the weather in Blighty for all of 2 mins). As I had my trusty Mexican speaking guide and new mate with me I asked him to find out where it was possible to get rolling tobacco in this fair city. Well, we checked and checked..then checked more and it was nowhere to be found. (I give up ...

... hot? a false sense of security, then pow, right in the kisser. i wish someone would punch alanis morrissette in the kisser. nothing in her hit song is ironic. if anything, her lyrics are rhetoric. isn't it rhetoric, don't you think? if it was raining on your wedding day, and you were 'roped' in 'cos it was arranged, would you still 'tie the knot' the same way? and who would've thought you'd get ringed? buy my album - it's called too many long curlies. now i'm gonna write real ...

... the other team slid in, taking him down to the grey stone surface with a bloody thud. the crowd stopped dead and looked in my direction. the forward looked up at me with tears of pain in his eyes. the defender looked up at me with a look of guilty astonishment. both teams eyed me for results and the ref asked to see the replay. the footage showed a crude tackle from behind and the ref pointed to a spot free kick. the injured forward struck the ball with ...
