When sidewalks are slippery with rain, James may “take a big spill” but will be back on his feet with reflexes como un gato…we were surprised, too…you’d never expect such coordination from a lanky man of 6’4”. He claims he was distracted by the various taco stands around town (see pictures).
Shirin and Kayela fall for the blue sky every time, despite the fact that they are regularly soaked through and through by torrential rains. Seriously, bring the rain jacket, for the love of God! It’s not like its heavy.
Dachacomb means “I go” in Tzotzil, a Mayan dialect. It’s the only Mayan word we’ve learned and there are 12 different dialects here in Chiapas.
Trudy style tacos down at the NaBolom (house of the jaguar) museum (just steps from our door) are the best breakfast in town. Trudy Blom, a sassy woman who worked to protect the rain forests and the heritage of the Lacandon Mayans and more importantly had impeccable taste in breakfast tacos, lived in the house which is now a museum dedicated to Mayan history. According to Joel, “It’s the bean sauce that makes it so tasty.”
Kayela and Shirin share a bed in our new digs…much to Kayela’s dismay, Shirin insists on ordering large bowls of beans at mealtime. Kayela counters by stealing the covers on most nights to prevent any kind of dutch oven maneuvers.
We went and saw Pirates 3 in one of the nicest movie theaters we’ve ever been in for only $4. Pricing Power Parity live in action folks!
If James and Kayela can agree wholeheartedly on one thing, it’s this: The Goonies is and always will be one of the finest films ever created. So imagine the sheer delight that ensued when Shirin revealed that she not only went to school with Jeff “Chunk” Cohen, but that she and Kieran are friends with him. To celebrate, Kayela and James spoke only in Goonies quotes (in Spanish when possible) for much of the remainder of the evening…causing Shirin and Joel to reconsider their original assessment that they had been places on a cool team.
