Where the heart of the revolution is still alive and well. Viva Mexico, Viva Zapata.
The Kernal arrived here Monday night and we proceeded to watch the sun come up the next two days. Ouch. We are getting on a bus for San Cristobal de las Casas tonight for the 10 hour ride. Tomorrow we are going up to El Rancho La Granada about 40 minutes out of San Cristobal where my friend Anoushka lives. We will stay up there at least one night and maybe more, depending on the accommodations and how we are feeling about the place.
Did some voice over work this week for a documentary these guys are making here. It's actually more like Catholic propaganda. But they paid me 500 pesos for my time. I had to entirely re-write the script as well but the guys doing it (some local filmmakers) were such good guys, I didn't mind. It was probably the most poorly written thing I have ever read.
I really am leaving Oaxaca for good at some point. I need to buy a ticket for Peru but these guys have a little more work for me and I just ran into a girl I have been looking for two months. I met her my second day here and have been trying to track her down ever since. I need to put in some quality time with her. I think I will go to Peru in about three weeks. But I will return to Oaxaca next Wednesday and start to wrap things up. I hope.
