Wow, Indian food, jazz clubs, wholemeal bread - Tony wants to move here. It is certainly the prettiest town we have been in. It is high in the southern mountains and just so much the image of Mexico at its best.
On the other hand, it is the home of the Zapatista uprising and the killing of 45 people, mainly women and children in 1997, when the Mexican police and their friends decided that they had had enough of the indigeous people demanding their rights. (A little reading is in order if you want to know more about this.)
We went to the theatre tonight and saw a dance/play about the prehispanic history of the area. I was terrific and we tried hard to follow the story line. (A little reading is in order if we are to understand this.)
