Merry Xmas from SanCRistobal!!

So it has been a while since the last post, let me see if i can kinda paraphrase the last couple of weeks...... Zipolite was a blast, meeting really good people, eating for cheese pizzas with roquefort, and laying in the hamac until you fall asleep. We visited a tiny secluded beach around the corner called Play del Amor, Sonya got stung buy a sting ray (extremely painful) and i think i might have a broken toe, additionally, we met a guy from the UK thats legal name is Crazy Horse Invincible. Thats not all, but mainly just a vacation from our vacation.
On the 20th, we took a night bus 12 hours to San Cristobal de las Casas, in Chiapas, the home of the Zapatistas. We are staying with our friend Tom who we met in Patzcuaro, and meeting many of his friends who live here, from frenchies, italians, germans, all over the world, and everybody is really good people, and its an even more beautiful and international town. On Christmas we are goona have a traditional Christmas dinner, and I think we are gonna make sweet potato pie or some desert. But everymorning here is great, we wake up, put on a pot of coffee, and retreat to the garden with sophie, the other roomate, tom, and us sitting amongst gorgeous virmilliads and orchids, with orange tree that has fresh oranges right now, and an apple tree that draws hundreds of parrots when they are ripe.
Other than that, the future is looking good, and tonight we may go to a reggae show with a band that everyone knows and hangs out with called MUFAYA (more fire, but since they are french they just say the sounds like jamaicans.. hillarious, super intense sound system reggae). I know it doesnt seem like much has been going on, but we keep bust, and if the market isnt closed by now, we are gonna get some stuff.
Hope many of you are enjoying a white christmas.

Hey Bean,

So nice to read your message - we are enjoying hearing about your travels. Well, I never made it to the beach with your mama...alas, too much snow at our house. We have not seen snow like this in a few years - literally snowed in a couple of days. Up to the windows of the bug along the plowed roads. Anyway, our plans for Christmas got all changed around and we are all together at Sarah's house in Seattle. Jess arrived with the help of friends and Bob and I braved the snow and ice to bring the sleigh of food and presents - nice here - we are cozy, full and warm. Your mom is looking forward to some time with the two of you - so nice she can make it happen. I will be making a date with her for next week - Well, stay safe, smell the sweet smells of Mexico for us and have fun. XXOO, Bob and Wendy
