Finally. A few random pictures for everyone who is still reading this. To the left is Leonardo de Vaca. We are in Guadalajara I believe. If you read a couple weeks ago you can find out all about it. :) Right now I am sitting in TierrAdentro. Heather and I just finished the vegetarian meal of the day. For 40 pesos you get agua del dia (fruit y water juice), soup, bread, rice and veggies with sauce and tortillas. 40 pesos is about $5 and there was enough food for Heather and I to split. We think that is so cheap, and yet there are children who sit out the door here who could never afford it. They ask us for money to afford their 'tortillas'. The arbitrarily decided price raise of corn has caused a lot of problems for the people here. Sophia is writing her essay on corn and globalization impacts but so far we haven't discovered the truth about who or what raised the price of corn, all we know is that it is causing huge social implications for the people in this region.
I just finished drinking a coco cappucino...that isn't chocolate by the way....it is coconut.....mmmmmmmm.
This picture is of Alica, Karyn and I in San Blas. Alica's father took us there when we were in Tepic. I haven't written about that part of our trip yet. It was a nice day though...we first went on a tour of some wetlands and saw muchos cocodrilos y despues fuimos a San Blas.
Today I think Sophia and I are going skirt shopping. The clothes I brought just aren't cutting it...they are more casual travel clothes and run out fast. I need something pretty. After we do that we are going to Compitch to talk about their objectives to recover, defend, define and develop the traditional medicine of Chiapas. When Heather found their website I just about wet myself. It is exactly what I needed for my research paper. Anyways I am going to end this here before the computer deletes it and I perform a freak show in this public place. However, now that I have my technology figured out I promise many more pictures in the next few days. Ciao.
