It´s been a couple of months since my last entry, but I haven´t moved far from where I was. Well, actually I haven´t moved at all.

Here I am, still in Chiapas. I´ve been doing various things here, all mentioned in the last entry, plus a lot of farming and beekeeping.

I also had the opportunity to witness Mexican police brutality firsthand. Anyone interested can read about it here:

I´m leaving tomorrow after four and a half months in this part of the country. I have mixed feelings about going. I´ve become a little addicted to this corner of Mexico and have been postponing my departure week by week, but at the same time I´m excited about discovering Central America.

I have a funny feeling I´ll be back here in the next few months. Watch this space...
