Back from 3 days in Palanque

Amar and I just got back from spending 3 days in the rainforest bordered village of El Panchan. Oh the wonders that we saw. 

We stopped off and had a swim at the most beautiful waterfall.





But, were back in San Cristobal again and finally have access to homecooked food which was easy to miss. I'm hungry now.

 Amar needed some new jeans and had to buy these really mexicany ones. Arent they just darling?
 I got these hand made slippers
 Amar is making me a mango flower here. yum yum yum.
 Glad to be home (in San Cristobal)

Deep South

Here we are, living in San Cristobal, Chiapas MX

When we arrived we we're greeted by an amazing (and well-hung if I do say so myself) full moon, this is what it looked like from our roof. Yes, it was huge.
 we boated down a canyon a few days later and saw some cool stuff.

 ...and totally saw crocodiles
 The public market here is pretty amazing. Huge, dense and packed with good stuff. I uploaded more photos of it here but the internet is being a p.o.s. and it won't show them. so poop on that.

At the market, you can find anything from combs to chickens, mandarins to mirrors, clothes to chayote and razors to radios. Its impressive.
Haha, I really like the scene there, its very bustley and everybody is trying to get as much of your money as possible. But, I can tell Amar wants to slap some people when they try to charge him a ton for avocados because he´s a gringo. And they do.

 Amars dad, Bob, is doing some vacationing in Mexico right now too and he met up with us for a few days. We had a good time with him sharing some food and wine. The place in this photo makes awesome margaritas. And that just inspired me to go and get one right now. It'll be a nice alternative to the muffins I have been shoveling into my mouth daily about this time a'day.
 Oh and most excitedly, we got a new apartment!, which I am entirely enthused about. Very mexicany and cute. I absolutely love living here. And, I find I am eating a lot more now that we have nestled into a place. Tortillas non stop and this bakery I found makes the MOST addicting chocolate muffins for 5 pesos. I wish I could quit them.

But this is the place...





Im a little peeved right now because I just spent over an hour uploading tons of photos for this blog entry and now they wont appear where they should be. So, wasted time. UGH

But things are good. Life is bueno and I think we'll be returning at the end of this month. And when we do retrun, I wanna eat, drink wine and chill with all the people I've not seen for 3 months. Im lookin forward to it.
