Instead of one big re-cap, I'm just gonna take things one step at a time, starting with a bunch of photos from our first stop in Mexico, San Cristobal De Las Casas.
We took a long bus ride from Antigua, Guatemala back near the end of January. The border was easy, but one guy was having immigration issues, so the whole bus had to wait for him. We were really glad to finally get to Mexico after all the suspense behind whether or not we should go or not. Just as we thought, it was beautiful and not any more scary than any other place we've been on the trip so far.
Obviously, the writing thing is not happening today, so lets just skip to the photos and stick with short captions. Today will be all about visuals. Huzzah!
This is the view from just inside a little chapel on top of lots and lots of stairs. My foot was in a bad mood and refused to cooperate, but I hobbled all the way to the top in time for the sunset and it was worth it!
The view from the top of the stairs, and a nice little view of the city...
More view. We couldn't quite get enough of this one, in case you can't tell...
A street view, probably near the stairs...We were trying desperately to capture the sunset on film, and it wasn't quite working, so as a result we have 100 million photos of the same general thing...Still so pretty though.
Sometimes when we feel like we have too much stuff, or our bags are too heavy, I like to look at this photo and then I feel much better about the whole situation...I believe Ryan caught this moment.
The main drag right where our hostel was. Lots of trendy shops, food, music. It was so nice to arrive here after the long bus ride. It feels pretty different from the little Central American towns we've been in thus far. And if everyone looks cold, its because they are. It turns out the mountains are frigid. I don't know how cold they ACTUALLY are but after so many months in the sun, we were layering up big time.
This is the main square, it looks totally empty here, which is odd because I think it was actually pretty busy. I love all the bright yellow churches we have been seeing along the way. They're usually pretty basic inside, but you can't beat that bright color.
Ryan caught this moment in a park. He's got a good eye, that one.
The other end of the main attraction street near our hostel.
While I was checking out the inside of the church, Ryan did some people watching and got this photo. So good! Its so typical too, like this is so what we see day to day. I love the woman behind him too, draped in the scarves she's selling. I'm still looking for the perfect pashmina.
