San Cristobal de Las Casas is a fun place to stay awhile. I can see myself 50 years ago with a backpack from my rump to over my head travel book and english spanish book in hand getting off the bus and finding a room. Then rushing off to see all the sights the book recommends and then some more.
The general circuit here, not necessarily in this order, is San Cristobal de Las Casas, Palenque, Tikal, Chichicastenango, Antigua, Panajachel and back home to earn some more for the next trip. I did the trip in 1973 and am glad to be back. Only this time in no hurry. No heavy back pack, know the area a little, and a not maxed out credit card. But only rudimentary Spanish sticks.
I have a large room at Media Luna Hotel on Hermianas Dominguez with wireless computer access and I have my computer. I am trying to learn video editing as a hobby with Adobe Premiere Elements. I find it difficult.
Some off beat things here was the bull fight 12/25. I have mixed feelings about that but have a good film I am working on. (Also have 15 other dv tapes to work on.) And there was a decent rock concert with group Motel at El Carmen Center.
I like to read the blogs that google search engine sends me on the areas I am interested in. Most blogs good and cover the area well and well worth reading. Some from idiot crybabies that should have never left home.
So retirement can be fun.
