Orquídeas Moxviquil Revisited + Maya Museum of Medicine

In just 3 years this place has really grown! Raining the day we visited, we weren't able to completely capture all the changes in pictures. Inside the greenhouse was a different story; it was simply phenomenal and overbearingly beautiful.

During our visit to the garden we also visited the nearby Maya Museum of Medicine.

Street artists prevail in this city. Far better then the 3rd grade graffiti prevalent in other Mexican cities.

Just west of the gardens and just off the Periferico due north of the city lies the mysterious Maya Museum of Medicine.

After facing the possibilities of the Chamula Shamans and their chicken blood letting ceremonies, needless to say I feel a little nervous about entering this place of solitude.

The place ended up with the sole visitors being a few females in line for a Shaman ceremony behind closed doors. Each of them entered in turn with a bundle of weeds of sort and a raw chicken egg. In this case I think curiosity killed the chicken.
