... a bit tired of criss crossing the Sierra Madre and I need to get to Guatemala for possible hook up with fellow traveler.<br>I stopped at Arriaga this gives me the choice of either option in the morning and I need Internet access. <br>Stopped at the Hotel Marie Eugenia another cheap clean place, as they have all been so far.<br>Got a taxi into the town centre to find a Internet cafe, that's more like it $5 Pesos per hour.<br>

Früh morgens schauten wir uns etwas im historischen Zentrum von Oaxaca um. Leid** öffnen die Museen (und auch das Regi**ungsgebäude) **st um 10.30 Uhr. Glücklich**weise hat Gott imm** Zeit für uns und so schauten wir uns zu **st die Iglesia de Santo Domingo an. Eigentlich **inn**t das Inn**e eh** an einen Palast als an eine Kirche. Kunstvolle, mit goldbelegte Ornamente und Skulpturen zi**en die Wände und ...

... We went to the theatre in the evening which lasted a couple of hours and was of course a traditional Mayan story with masks and tribal dress, the music was very powerful, mainly drums. The days have been long and the evenings eventful as we gather each night to eat drink and be merry BUT of course orderly....we left the disorder to the other younger GAP group.....time to move on to new country as we cross the land border to Guatemala tomorrow.

... of buisnesses, since traffic slows merchants sell anything from fruit to cold drinks. Some will stand in the middle of the lanes to reach both drivers of the traffic. It also seems the place to catch a ride, or just watch traffic as the continuing circus of vehicles and unaware drivers parade by. You become accustomed to watching out for the reductors in a way I have never have looked for anything else on the ...

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...

... formed by sediment deposited over the years. We spotted a couple of crocs on the way home, the driver floated us right up to within a couple of meters of one "statue" sunning itself on some driftwood. Some of the people including Larry couldn't see it, but as soon as he got a sniff of it he tried to climb out the other side of the boat. After the tour and lunch our little convoy of 3 headed through the city of Tuxla Guiterrez and after ...

... and there was his wife and she said she was Darinel´s wife, and his brother looked like him too. Then we had to find Galacion´s sister, but he had no idea where she was and she wasn´t answering the phone. So we called back to the States to Javier for him to call Marilu and then we did finally find them. We slept there that night.

... out she´s got a Mexican boyfriend already and that´s part of the confusion of her life right now. Seems there´s a lot of confusion with this girl so I left her to chat with Simon (in German) while I went and talked to the Canadian girl I´d met in Zipolite. She´s from William´s Lake, so we talked about the Canucks and how Vancouver needs to change goaltenders. At least that´s my opinion. The guy is always on his friggin knees for christsake.
