Becstarr : One last licuado!

Our bags are packed for a 4:50am wake-up tomorrow - we opted for an early start from airy San Cristobal rather than head back to Tuxtla for the night. Tomorrow is the big hop: San Cristobal - Tuxtla, thence Mexico City, and finally Havana, Cuba by 4:10pm if all runs according to plan.

San Cristobal has been great. Apart from hummingbird-watching, we managed to get out to two of the local villages, San Juan Chamula and Zincanatan. Both are peopled primarily with the indigenous Tzotzil Mayans, who have blended Catholicism and native beliefs (principles of Mayan medicine, etc) to make for saome interesting church practices, which involve pine needles, soda, many candles and flower petals, eggs, fireworks.... and more that I´m sure we didn´t see or have any clue about.

Heading out for a last Margarita and licuado (juice / smoothie) now. I hope Cuba´s are as good!

Evelyn - Staff Drinkies

The trouble with forgetting that staff drinkies is on is that when you do turn up you forget things like sensible consumption and keeping the water levels high. Double-decker buses seem to move a lot when going around corners.

Joe - Everything you have is yours and not stolen

Agree completely with Anna re: post-boxing pain. Additional: When your boxing coach says he's a got a "special" class planned it does NOT mean any of the following things:
1. When you punch the bag a clown jumps out and gives you cake.
2. Exercise replaced with beer and a nap.
3. Taking the class to Mexico.
Generally, what he means by "special" is "lots more punching than usual".
Had a good day. Found and punched some wireless security holes we had. Fixed some network issues. Ate some Thai.
Now it's free drinks time! Yay!
