... entailed getting there by small local bus and the guide only spoke spanish....suprising really as we were in Mexico ! so had to listen hard and use all of our vast vocabulary to understand....the village had a market with an amazing old 16th century church...you would hardly recognise it as christian and catholic, more like pagan as we saw chickens sacrificed and no furniture at all, the floor was covered in pine needles and burning ...

Well no trip report from MX would be complete with out a discussion on Topes. We North Americans would refer to them as Speed bumps. If you drive in Mexico you will quickly learn not to ignore any sign that looks like or is spelled like tope. I have seen them called Tope, Tope, Topas, and Reductors. All are designed with one thing in mind, to slow traffic or create and accident if you don´t slow. They are made ...

On to Puerto Arista, a relative metropolis, plenty of shops, some of them even open! Out of high season seaside towns tend to only fully open at weekends when the city dwelling Mexican hordes descend. Found a nice little place near a smelly lagoon and not far from the beach, but sadly, as often happens in Mexico, the workers started banging around at 6am - because it´s really hot later, they start work early but with no concern for their sleeping clients.

Just a stop over in this small town, where a Saturday night is spent drinking until falling asleep in the streets. It was quite funny arriving there so late, everyone just coming to us so drunk and talking to us and then after one hour seeing them sleeping outside. This time has not much apart from good hot dogs, we went to eat them at a stand where they were showing a Mexican boxing game, and i had to stasy the whole 11 rounds and cheer up with the locals...

... separated and all taking different routes arrived at the orphanage within 10 minutes of each other. The short stay there was very satisfying the kids were all very happy to see us and our kids especially as most visitors are retired couples. We all kicked the footy around for a while, a couple showed a bit of potential too. We invented a new ball game, a cross between cricket and baseball that the boys played for a while. Bev lightened our ...

We arrived here in the afternoon. First we were looking for Darinel´s family, the guy that got pneumonia and maybe Tuberculosis that was gonna come with us. He had sent some things, a DVD player, chainsaw, sewing machine and a small suitcase. But the thing is, neither Galación nor Bolívar knew where he lived. We did have a small poorly ...

... Often it is difficult for me to understand the contradtictory truths that at many levels we are all creating our own realities, and yet simultaneously some people obviously start out with so much more. Speaking of some people having so much more, I have decided to hang out in Chiapas awhile longer in order to join up again with Pastors for Peace, who are bringing 10 tons of solidarity aid donated from various communities in the US ...
