... different to what there was but it is too much effort to explain precisely. From the higher fans a waterfall was flowing, but when the water hit the moss fans and flowed off them, the wind blew the droplets away so the waterfall drifted off and dispersed. I think this was the most beautiful thing I had seen in my 7 months away (apart from Joss with a Glastonbury backdrop). Chances are that it appeared more beautiful because I had not heard anything about this ...

Some wore strange black skirts made out of some shaggy material - like llama and white blouses with a brightly colored embroidered trim or ruffle. Most had a shawl of some kind which if not wrapped around the shoulders was folded and carried on their head - for shade or as a convenient place to carry it! The whole outfit looked really hot but must ...

... peoples way of life. The guide took us into a very colourful church and explained the difference between the catholic religion and there religion, the indigenous people pray to saints rather than the Virgin Mary, being just one of the many differences.

Neljä uuvuttavan tehokasta päivää New Yorkissa ja viisi tuntia Miamin kentällä ja pääsimme ensi kertaa koettamaan horjuvaa espanjaamme Mexicana de Aviacionin miehistöön. Kaiken American Airlinesin nuivuuden jälkeen maistuivat dos tequilas lentopastan kanssa luonnollisesti taivaallisilta.

We weren't allowed to take our cameras along, as Ursula explained that the Indians' felt that taking a photo of them stole part of their soul. The first part of the cycle was through the town and pretty much uphill. We stopped off at a few small Indian villages and at an old convent. At the convent we saw a group of Indians butchering meat further along up the hill. Apparently these people have ...

... but I couldn't understand what he was saying. As we got closer we saw that there were 2 planks in the road ahead of us, each the width of a lane of traffic. Each plank had a series of 4 inch nails sticking out of them, pointy side up, and had a rope attached to each end of it.

... or philosophical messages. Many feature corn, Maya in ski masks, the face of Emiliano Zapata, or excerpts from speeches by Subcomandant Marcos, their spokesperson.
