entering the land of el puerco

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

i remember fondly my crossing from guatemala to MX. i hadn’t had a good pork dish in FOREVER. but so many things made me fall in love with Chiapas, MX: great food, natural wonders, friendly people and history. i had amazing experiences around san cristobal which is why i post these 2 videos. first is a little tour of posada morales in san cristobal. for the awesome room and view i thought it was a bargain. after that is a video of a procession i came across in chamula, outside of san cristobal. locals walked from the town center to the cemetery, carrying new crosses to honor the dead. guitars and accordians accompany.

i’m so fond of chiapas
