Parador Ciudad Real San Cristobal de las Casas

... completely informal. When her friend left she put her hands in a cardboard box and pulled out a live chicken! Where the hell had that chicken come from, no body knew it was in there. She stretched the chicken out and wiped it over the man, then, with a quick snap of its neck and a loud CRACK, the chicken had been sacrificed. To finish off the healing they took some bottles of coke out of the box and took some deliberate sips. The bubbles apparently scared off ...

San Cristobal is a great place and I´ve stayed here for over one week. The weather is really nice, the sites are interesting and there´s lots of indigenous culture. It´s going to be difficult to leave.<br> Last Friday and again yesterday, I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity. It was great, but it almost didn´t happen because no one at the HFH spoke English and I couldn´t quite explain what I wanted with body language. I met a ...

San Cristobal is a beautiful Mexican town. There are plenty tourists here but the great thing is that it is not a particularly expensive town. The streets are full of building after coloured building and even their churches are painted in such candy colours! We embarked on a horse tour up to one of the outlying villages. Which Becs got pretty excited about because she has never ridden a horse by herself but her wild west fantasy quickly diminished because the horses were just ...

... we found ourselves in the Parque Central, and decided to purchase a red rose from one of the many children wandering round with them. Despite their goods having only 5 more hours of shelf-life (I.e. before Valentine´s day was over), these kids still drove a hard bargain and would accept no less than 10 pesos for a single rose. Daryl could only find 9 pesos! So there we were stuck on our park bench with about 7 kids hanging ...

... visit to San Cristobal de las Casas. <br><br>After our remarkable visit to Casa Na-Bolom, located at Vincente Geurrero #33, we headed west towards downtown. It was during this walk that we stumbled upon the municipal market and its labyrinth of stores and stalls offering a myriad of merchandise.<br><br>My earliest memory of a market that impressed me to this day was in Athens in 1972. That was the first time I witnessed how exciting the markets of southern Europe ...

... Tosin suurimmat hipat ja "¡Baila! *THUMP* ¡Baila! *THUMP*" -musiikki alkoivat kylässä vasta uuden vuoden puolella. Me vanhat ja väsyneet ja monet vuodenvaihteet jo nähneet emme tietenkään jääneet tanssille vaan vetäydyimme huoneeseemme kuuntelemaan lähibaarin juomalauluja. Lähtöpaivää edeltävänä päivänä kävimme kuitenkin vielä snorklaamassa (toinen puolisko ibuprofeenin voimin) ja toteamassa kameramme luvatun vedenkestäväksi. Lisäksi otimme PA:ssa mainioita j ...

... regarding the sentences of people committing crimes (the rate is very low). Whenever they get married, it is always the woman following the man, never the contrary. In the second village, Zinacantan, the laws are less stricts and anyone can go and live there. There is a catholic church as well as their own. We entered the house of a family that cooked tortillas for us and witnessed tribunal session: some men are mediators, and on each side of the room, the ...

... Palenque. Here we visited what will probably be our final set of Mayan ruins. The ruins at Palenque differ from those elsewhere as they are still largely unexcavated with several hundred lying undiscovered beneath the dense jungle coverage. The roars from the jungle (howler monkeys not jaguars!) gave the place an eerie yet mystical atmosphere. We are now in San Cristobal de las Casas, a beautiful colonial town in the middle of Chiapas, perched high in the ...
