Well, it's officially been a month, but it doesn't seem that long until I realize how far I'm actually going. 30 days later, I'm finally remembering to put the paper in the wastebasket not the toilet. In October we essentially played turista for 30 straight days, and are quite exhausted.

This place was interesting. Only a few miles outside of San Cristobal it seems to be in a completely different country. San Cristobal is a plethora of fast paced moments in its busy markets and major streets that encompass the pivotal town of the mountainous region. San Juan Chamula, however, is a place where the past is embraced and the modernity of the city is used as a tool.

We found Flor de Cana one night in San Cristobal while hanging out with Karly.

We circled the block but there was no other entrance, until Jason and I both simultaneously had a bad idea: the roof.

So the other night, we met our first American. Okay not really, she doesn't count. Karly has been living on the pacific coast of Mexico for the past year or so with her partner, doing a myriad of various jobs but mainly teaching yoga and surfing. originally hailing from Austin makes her technically "American", but, since it doesn't count, we have yet to meet another fellow USA-ian. Ever meet that person who, during the first few conversations, aces every question that you subconsciously use as a friend-filtering quiz? This was Karly for us, and this is our "top 10" list (in no particular order) of things we agreed upon:
