San Cristobal - Up in the pine forest mountains

Woke about one pm here and have found it to be a reasonable place to be. San Cristobal is the former state capital and is known like Ouxaca for the colonial architecture though having a far more indigenous population - most local business seems to be run by more indigenous looking Indian people than in say Mexico City where the US or Spanish influence is stronger.

I haven´t done anything yet today. I kept bumping into a guy from Mauritaus who was nice enough but not exhausted to the same degree I have been. It is really a pleasant enough little town with enough of the colonial influence alive to make it feel like a Winchester, Bath or Windsor type of place to be.

Will do all I can to recover and find a way of planning out the next few days this evening.
