One never knows exactly what order these will appear but I will describe briefly and you put together, comprendes?
The turgoise cross covered with fresh greens for upcoming fiesta in San Juan Chamula was an early Mayan symbol before the Spanish arrived. Must have really pissed them off to see it desecrated with plants and stuff.
You see the church I told you about, and some detail of how the indigenous folk have painted it.
Sunset on the streets of San Cristobal. Looking into our hotel courtyard with a cool mural map of Chiapas and Guatemala.
Other crosses and funny looking saint.
A solid amber Marimba (complete with insectos. Think about Jurrassic (sp) Park) at the Museo del Ambar.
So. We're both feeling like we will try the 6am, 4 hour bus ride tomorrow for Palenque. It is my 55th birthday. I believe San Cristobal is the patron saint of travelers among other cositas.
