we love a parade

We´re at an internet cafe in Chetumal. Chetumal isn´t much to write home about, but just now there was this terrific kiddie parade to celebrate spring, hundreds of small children and their parents in the street in costume. Awesome! This is the mexico that makes the heat and dirt worthwhile.

Yesterday we spent several hours at Konulich(sp?) terrific ruins, very fun. Then stopped for a cold drink at what turned out to be one of the fanciest places I´ve ever been. $8 margaritas (USD), but what luxury & what a nice view. I had been wondering what the poor were doing this season, and now I know. They have a small concrete room in Chetumal.

Today we´re off to Valliodad.

Photos & movies later...
