Sono distrutta. Oggi abbiamo viaggiato da Tapachula a San Cristobal, da piu' di 30 gradi a circa 15.
Il viaggio e' stato di per se' interessante, abbiamo attraversato il Chiapas, che e' veramente bello, ma l'esperienza e' stata devastante: 8 ore di pullman. Ma questo e' niente.
La stazione dei pullman di prima classe e' spettacolare, organizzata tipo aeroporto, lasci i bagagli e attendi che il viaggio venga annunciato. Primo problema: la temperatura sul bus. L'aria condizionata a palla...

San Cristobal minuto per minuto

Oggi abbiamo macinato chilometri a piedi. Con molta calma ma abbiamo girato tutto il centro storico e oltre. Al mattino faceva veramente freddo, si vedeva il respiro, ma appena e' spuntato il sole si stava proprio bene.
Abbiamo visitato il museo del caffe', sono un paio di stanzoni con la storia della coltivazione del Caffe' nel Chiapas, e il Museo della Medicina Maya che si trova ben distante dal centro, dopo aver attraversato la zona del mercato locale e aver proseguito su una strada poc...

If anyone is interested in visiting Mexico, you should not miss the opportunity to see the state of Chiapas. It is nearly magical here. We have been staying in San Cristobal de las Casas since Sunday june 15th. Our school, Instituto Jovel has been great. We had "small group classes" from 9:00am-12:00pm monday through friday. I put small group classes in quotes because we thought that we would be in classes of 5 or so per group, but as the low travel season would be so fortunate to provide for...

You Are Now in Zapatista Territory

After an epic sleep on the overnight bus, we arrived in San Cristobal de las Casas early on Sunday morning. We were greeted at the bus station by Sarah and Puneet, two other Warwick students with whom we had previously arranged to meet. They had been in Chiapas for over a month, working in the Zapatista communities on a university-funded project.

The Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) first came to the world's attention on 1st January 1994, when they led an armed uprising in th...

The day after visiting Oventic we took a completely different but equally exciting excursion to Canyon Sumidero. For 200 pesos tour guides offer boat trips down the river that flows along the bottom of the canyon. The spectacular views as you sail between the steep cliff faces and past the towering waterfalls are worth the price alone, but there is also plenty of nature to be seen in the canyon. Eagles soar above the boats, while pelicans and storks can be seen in or around the river. But the...

... by themselves. Girls stay at home and learn to run the household, and most importantly they learn to weave, sew and embroider fabrics. When a girl is skilled enough she will make her own wedding costume (usually around 16 years) which is a symbol for local men that she is ready to marry. The skill with which such a gown is crafted is one indication of whether the girl will make a good wife (the best wife will produce ...

Piece of my mind

After 4 months of travelling we finally had a bad encounter. On the bus trip between Puerto Escondido and San Cristobal my (Brad´s) Ipod got stolen. It happened when the bus stopped for a short break in the night. We left the bus for about 5 minutes to use the rest room and when we returned my Ipod was gone. Now this is made even more frustrating because essentially it was my fault for leaving it in clear view for everyone to see. (I guess with us having had such a good ...

... kuuluu juuri vuorien alkuperäiskansoihin, koska tunnetusti yhtä perinteiset kuin mayojen alkuperäisasut, on maailmassa myös alkuperäiskansojen oikeuksien polkeminen. Sen verran suosittuja kaverit ovat, että vuoristossa seinät tuntuvat olevan täynnä zapatistaikonien kuvia, ja tottakai torilta voi jokainen ostaa mukaansa, vaikka avaimenperäksi, huovutetun vuoristokommarin. Chiapasin vuorilla matkalla jälleen seuraaville raunioille (ja suurenmoisille vesiputouksille ...

San Cristobal - One month on the road

... The view from our little boat was truly amazing and as we were sucked deeper into the canyon the mountains began to tower over us. The waterfalls were spectacular as was the jungle that crept up to the water's edge. We didn't see any Spider monkeys, which was a shame, but the crocodiles on the mud flats more than made up for that. We pulled up next to one and it wasn't the slightest bit interested in our presence, basking in the sun without even a look in our direction ...

... people´s directions later, we asked one final person, a street seller, who eventually gave us the correct directions to ´Pepe´s Pizza´. The pizza at Pepe´s was okay but not worth the massive treck. We decided that we would make the most of Wednesday because we had lost the previous day to travelling so we got up early and headed to the market in town. There were lots of stalls and plenty of indigenous goods but I only bought a new belt. After we had seen all of the ...
