San Cristobal de las Casas

Here I am, in La Casa del Pan, about to eat delicious guacamole, una ensalada y un licuado de pina. I love San Cristobal already! Wow, this is the best meal that I’ve had in weeks.
San Cristobal is everything that I’d imagined and more. It will be even better once we find outselves una casita to live in. I am eating organic lettuce, in Mexico, wonderful.

So I met this guy, Cameron, on the bus. He's from Bellingham, Washington, just finished a grad degree in International/Economic Development in San Fran. We had too much in common, we talked from about 9pm till 2am. Then slept till about 5, and then on and off till 8:30 when we arrived here. Almost 14 hours on the bus, which makes it 18 with my ride the other day from Cancun.
He’s been in Central America since August, spent time in every country from Panama to Mexico and volunteered in Nicaragua with an NGO that works with schools for 3 months.
It was really nice to have someone to talk and relate to on such a long journey, and the fact that we had so much in common was amazing.

Climbing up to San Cristobal in the bus at sunrise this morning was awesome. We're at 2100 m above sea level here...which means it can be really cold in the morning and at night, but today felt like real mexican sunshine to me.
