... this. Then ceremoniously he took a sip of water. All this was happening with the backdrop of a wall covered in statues of brightly painted saints and a statue of Jesus surrounded by tacky, flashing neon lights. <br> I sat down on the floor (there were no churches) to watch the chanting lady. Even though it looked like she was in a trance, when someone else from the church would walk past she should stop and have a chat, check the time, and all of a sudden ...

... as the indigenous people believe it steals their spirit. Wide angle shots and panoramas are okay, but no close-ups.<br> The youth hostel was great. They had free breakfast and bonfires at night and it only cost $6 a night. I met people from all over the world. I haven´t met many Americans, why is that? I did meet three guys from Eugene though. <br> More about San Cristobal in the next blog.

... and have some tortillas and filling, this time some kind of meat with onions and coriander. I've become addicted to street food and adding a good dollop of chilli sauce seems to keep the bugs away. Later I go off to the 'tortillera' and buy myself a bunch of freshly made tortillas, hot, some tomatoes, chillies, onions, corriander and avocados and go back to the hostel to make my own tacos.

... a christmas tree, where in the raining season a waterfall of highly calcified water flows. As with many cities in Central America, with a higher density of tourists you tend to find more people (especially children) begging for money or trying to sell you their wares... this can be anything from batteries or chiclets gum to a pair of beaten-up shoes, to beautiful and expertly made handicrafts.

... rannikolle pieneen Puerto Angelin kalastajakylään odottamaan vuoden vaihtumista. Vaikka vääränlaiset vatsamikrobit olenkin onnistunut toistaiseksi, uskomatonta kyllä, välttämään niin Puerto Angelissa otin pienen rehellisen välikuumeen, joten Päivi joutui lähinnä käymään yksinään biitsillä paikallisten vihellettävänä. Vuoden vaihtumisen perinteet eroavat Suomessa ja Meksikossa yllättävän vähän, eli pääosassa PA:ssakin olivat alkoholi ja holtiton rakettien ammuskeleminen v ...

... to pray for who they want. Themselves would never travel to try to change people´s mind. Although i knew that this is what the church employs this kind of ways to convert people, i was shocked to discover their behaviour with the Mayas. We also went around the markets, entered a house of one of the chiefs of the town, and were told that people here only live among themselves and don´t accept anyone else but indegenous in the village.
