just a quick note, as it's beyond late and i need to get up early. i just wanted to say that i'm highly impressed with comitan. it's a city in chiapas, mexico, in case you didn't know. i'm here with some coworkers on a business trip. but the only other place i've been in mexico is baja, and chiapas is so much cleaner and greener and nicer! at least in my humble opinion.
tonight we ate at a outdoor restaurant in the town center, next to this huge church. i asked for lemonade, and i got lime juice. :) all the streets are tiny, cobblestone, from the days before cars. everyone is so nice, maybe cause they know i'm american and think i have money. little do they know, i forgot to exchange any and have absolutely no pesos... i've only seen the military guys with the big guns once so far. (in baja they are all over) my hotel is nice, and i'm deeply grateful for the air conditioner.
the only drawback so far is that they are burning the leftovers of the corn fields all around the area, and the smoke is kinda getting to me. besides that, i'm hoping that we get a chance to visit some mayan ruins while i'm here. there are some not too far away from the company site, so if they plan too many meetings for me, i may just have to sneak out the back door and go sight seeing...
i'll post pictures later...
