I’ll write more later, but our next destination is San Cristóbal de las Casas in Chiapas, Mexico. That’s where the Zapatista Army of National Liberation are!

This year, we’re going to be chill. We are going to stay put and see if we can make a life there. Sure, we’ll get around a bit. We’ll see Pelenque and go to Puerto Angel, which is where the University del Mar is, somewhere around Ziipolite. But for the most part, we’re going to try day-to-day living. After last year’s epic trip, it’ll be a nice change of pace.

One thing I’m sure about however is the coffee in Chiapas is supposed to be out-of-this-world good. After Ecuador, all I can say about that is “Whew!”

Friends and family have an open invitation to visit. Fly to Mexico City or Cancun and then either bus it or plane it down there. The bus is about $70 and 14-16 hours and the plane is about $130 and less than two hours. (You’ll have to fly in to Tuxtla Gutierrez airport.)
