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.
