Buying trip - San Cristobal de Las Casas

I haven't blogged in quite a while - mostly due to the fact that I have been really busy working.  I recently went on a successful shopping extravaganza in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas.  The first time I traveled there, we stayed in a really nice B&B right off of Santo Domigo Church - right by the main market. This trip, we stayed in the relatively new and hip hotel, Hotel Bo - Bo meaning "water" in the local language Tzotzil.  I did get a little sick on both trips, but needless to say I definitely am making this my "go to" for finding amazing wool  and embroidered textiles and other treasures.  Chiapas is an interesting place because much like Guatemala, there is a very rich Mayan culture.  Most indigenous people still speak there native language and there are many people who don't even speak very much Spanish at all.
