Back to Cisco's in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas

The 10 hour bus ride from Veracruz puts me back in the lovely southern Mexico city of San Cristobal de las Casas at dear friend Cisco Diet's home. It has been a year since I last said goodbye but I quickly re-acclimate, feeling really good and comfortable about being back. At over 7000' high, the proximity to the equator doesn't affect the 40-72 degree daily temperatures.

The shoemen at the end of Tonala are a familiar site. Oops! I step too far in the street and get clipped by a bus. I forgot for a moment that one has to watch these things. Only a small slap and a dirty sweater! Date: 01/25/2010 Views: 5196	Calle 20th of Novembre, closed some years ago to autos is lined with even more people than I remember.
