El Mirador Hotel San Cristobal de las Casas

... der Natur war, aber ich habe immer wieder Momente gehabt, die mir Traenen in die Augen getrieben haben. Pure Euphorie, und das ohne selbst Sport treiben zu muessen!! :-)<br><br>In San Christobal bin ich ca. um 13Uhr angekommen und bin ins Hostel "Posada Mexico" gefahren. Ein suesses Hotel, das einem fuer 90Pesos ein Bett im Dorm bietet und ein (nicht grade gutes) Fruehstueck liefert. Am Abend hat mich dann Juan (ich glaube so hiess er?) gefragt, ob ich ein ...

... The walls of the church are lined with display cases in which statues represent various Christian saints, and it is mainly in front of these that the families pray. The entire floor of the church is covered in fresh pine needles (dry pine needles combined with candles being quite the fire hazard - frequent ritual changing is required), and scattered around the chapel are stacks of crates full of soft drinks. According to the guide ...

... with the heat and humidity (to the extent that it hasn´t really been that noticable of late). It is lovely and cool here in the evenings (Kate even mentioned she was cold last night as we ventured out for dinner) though this morning brought us a bright blue sky and hot sunshine. Its about 4pm ish here now, and we´ve just had the first shower of the day. We´ve spent the day wandering through the town, looking at some of the churches and ...

... bloody spectacular, it was hurting my neck at times as you were almost looking directly up to be able to see the top of the canyon walls. Definately one of the best sites I´ve seen so far on the trip. Our boat driver pulled in at a few rock formations and things along the cruise, and we were lucky enough to spot a crocodile and some monekys in trees along the river banks. At the end of the canyon is a huge hydroelectic dam which provides power for the ...

... dit, pas de probleme. Le truc, c&amp;#39;est que moi, je m adresse a lui en anglais depuis le debut ... Et soudain, 2eme flash dans ma tête: il est en fait de parler de quelque chose de complètement différent, et m explique que j aurais du demander au debut de la conversation, s´il parle anglais. Au lieu de cela, j´ai demarre tout de suite dans cette maudite langue (mes prpres mots!). Et c´est pas poli,ça! Bla bla bla ... Il continue sur le même sujet. Intarisabe, apparemment ...

... thereby becoming experts in their chosen fields. They not only discovered but became an integral part of that new world.<br><br>I put the anthropologists Gertrude Duby and her husband Franz Blom in the same category for what they did for the discovery and preservation of the Mayan culture.<br><br>Their origins were Swiss and Danish respectively and they could have easily lived their lives in these wonderful countries ...

... Das ganze Hostel feierte gemeinsam, es wurden erstmal 20 Kilo Guacamole verspeist (was wohl in Mexiko gerne passiert, wenn jeder was mitbringen soll ohne sich vorher abzusprechen :)). Dazu gabs fiese Sangria und den nicht viel besseren Bacardi Razz und dann ging es geschlossen auf den neuentdeckten Plaza zum Feiern. Die beiden Quoten-Italiener Luigi und Mario hatten auch ein paar grandiose mexikanische Boeller dabei. Typisch Latino ...

... as exciting as the grundbuch). A big come down after the canyon. Nonetheless another fantistic day out. I snoozed on the way back to the hostel. These long stressful days must be catching up with me. A side note on my tan. It´s been about 10 days now in the sun and I´m not even off white. Still getting plenty of stares from the locals and the odd gringo or guapo comment, white is definitely a delicacy in these parts!

... lets you relax. We looked around a large market and Ben bought himself a fine hammack and a poncho and some other things that you need to bring back after travelling in South America. I bought nothing. I had just seriously lightened my bag and I liked things as they were, I didn't see the need to add any weight to the bag until Icould think of something that I needed. Ben left the day before me so I had a day on my ...
