Week 56, 8-15 Feb. Oaxaca

I cannot believe I am only 2 weeks behind now! Almost there! And as I feel inspiration writting in English, I will keep going. Сорри, мами!

Week 57. 16th-22nd February. Chiapas

I tend to spend at least a week in a city and around: Puebla, Oaxaca, now San Cristobal. Chiapas is the mostly indigenous and the poorest departamento of Mexico. Zapatista movement of mid-90s was born here. Now San Cristobal is a huge tourist attraction with plenty of restaurants, hotels, hostels, street vendors pushing you artesanal textile, amber, fake amber, jade, ceramic jaguars, etc...

Week 54 Continues. 30th Jan-2nd Feb. Puebla And Adventures In Places Without Hotels

После 4x дней в Мезико, мне зотелось оттуда сбежать, что я и сделала. Первой остановкой была деревня по пути в Puebla, где мы планировали залезть на вулкан, с которого видно все. Но не тут-то было.

Week 55, Feb 3-7, Mountains, Canyons And Mountains

I figured I could leave my big backpack in Puebla while I go hiking/climbing mountains to the North of Puebla. It appeared to ba a good idea, when I ended up yet in another village without accommodation after dark.

Week 54 Mexico City

Ok, I somehow miscounted weeks and my one year travel anniversary falls on week 54, rather then 53. Oh, well, the point is on the day 25th Jan a year ago I left UK to arrive to Buenos Aires a day after. On the day 25th Jan this year I left Colombia to arrive to Mexico city (the same day), thus celebrating my year of travels. I have my ticket back in 3 months, but I still have loads to explore before that.
I left Bogota with heavy feeling: after 2 months of not liking Colombia, I finally got it and feel like I did not do everything I could do there. During my last 10 days of travel I met wonderful and most interesting people, both Colombian and travellers, I had loads of free coffees, juices, cheese, I have been to the mountains (sic!). Now I am in my usual widthrawal that I have when I leave another country.
