Last email check before I cross back over, heading via La Mesilla Huehuetenango (border town) to San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico for what should be a crazy New Years/10-year-anniversary of the Zapatista Revolution. Plans to meet up with Amanda, a Canadian girl I met in San Pedro, and some other folks... Yee-haw!

On a bit of a mission: hoping to find more of that yummy organic all-naturally sweetened artisanal chocolate before I go! Must sustain myself on the long journey ;)
