Rich red earth. Wish my Pop could have had such fertile land during his farming days. Hey the rocks we did have!

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies .. for purple mountain majesties ....(oops, the "freedom fry" patrol may soon come calling if I don't tone it down!)

Always try to make the first entry during daylight, as only a view of this climb can give the proper reverence for the upcoming enchanted land known simply as San Cristobal de las Casas.

Only the human eye penetrates the mist ....

Back in town, Suz wants to ride the new San Cristobal trolley. Why not!

All the best photo ops without pumping up these hills. My legs sigh a relief.
