As evidenced, I am trying to get all my pictures up here. It´s a bit of an arduous process at the old internet cafe. Last week, we rushed the Cancun and Chichen Itza, the spectacle of the Mayan world. We spent a couple days in Campeche, a lovely ocean town. Now we´ve settled into our house in San Cristobal De Las Casas for the month. We can get all our produce at the mercado, and I made succesful sopa de limon last night. These days, there are marigolds and pine needles everywhere for dia de los muertos, and the children all sing us this song:

buenas noches mi amigo estoy de nuevo contigo
el banquete esta servido, de ti nunca me olvido
no te preocupes, a trazido mucha cerveza
esta noche su lapida es nuestra mesa

NUESTRO ENCUENTRO ESTA CIERTO
SIEMPRE RECUERDO DEL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS
EL FIM ESTA INCIERTO
SIEMPRE RECUERDO DEL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

...for candy, and little hands appear from everywhere when the candy is out.

Wow, those ruins sure are in disrepair!

I love the two wings and one tail! It looks like Sophie happened to that bird!
