Okay, it's later! We learned a lot about the struggles of indigenous farmers against the ravages of NAFTA and globalization. We passed through a few army checkpoints on the way--a visible reminder that things are not well. My internet time is about to disappear--adios!

Hola! I just returned to San Cristobal, Chiapas, Mexico, from 3 days in the indigenous communities in the Lacandon jungle. It was an amazing trip, worthy of Indiana Jones. We traveled by van, boat, foot, and lots and lots of hiking. We spent two nights at a beautiful lake in the middle of the jungle. More later...

Greetings from Chiapas! Typing on a Spanish keyboard, having had no time to browse, this is about all I have to post. Keep working to stop the war--we see lots of anti-war signs painted on the walls here. "Bush: terrorista borracha, for example."
