An awkward and unwelcome interaction at the Peace House sent us to the next couchsurfer on our list, Roberto. He works at a hotel 4 blocks from the Zocalo and lives with the ideal that space should be filled, no one should be without a bed when there is one available. And there just happens to be one available...at his hotel. Karma is working on our behalf and we must have done something really right. More like an apartment, the hotel room has 2 floors, kitchen, living room with fireplace, upstairs bedroom with the cleanest bathroom in Mexico, with hot water 24hrs a day! Re-dic-u-lous. And free. We are here until the person who lives here returns (he may or may not know we are staying here).
Chiapas is known for its natural beauty, one of the reasons I was drawn here. Today we took another day trip, this time to El Rancho Nuevo. 15 minutes outside of the city, covered with enough pine trees to encourage deep breathing and makes me scream "MICHIGAN!" as we enter. While there we ate pinapple on a log, wandered through a cave while dancing to keep warm, and sat on a hill surrounded by pines. Just lovely.
