I don't know where my body goes. I already woke up couple of times but still I am in the bus. 5hours, 3hours, 30min left? Finally when I put my feet on the ground of San Cristobal de las Casas was very sunny noon. Exit from the bust station, walked the narrow streets laid out like a spider's web to main square. It looks like a Oaxaca but I can tell it's bigger city. First, we went to the nearest bakery to buy croissants and cup of fresh squeeze orange juice at the street juice cart. San Cristobal is surrounded by the mountains and the natural historic site but unfortunately I don't have time to tour around. I have only two days left and have to finish my trip. I was so jealousy about leaving alone because he is going to travel 7days more. Even it's my last journey and have to enjoy this time as much as I can though I couldn't. Okay, let it go~
For looking around all over the town we grabbed a small local bus. People looked at us like a stranger because seems like tourist don't know about this bus. After talking with people we got an information about big market around. Walking through a various alley I couldn't stop to look at beautiful vegetables and fruits. Okay, let's buy some fruits. I asked about mango price per piece but 19y/o girl smiled and said it only sell by basket which is 12pieces. I couldn't buy 12mangos so asked her buy a half. Guess how much it was! Six big fresh mangos for 7pesos which is less a dollar. Can't believe!!! Wish I could live here for few months~~~ For this travel I often move on to other city so that I didn't buy souvenir much. But finally I found what I wanted to buy for a long time but also most hesitated. It was 4KG stone mortar! Yes, That was beautiful and looks very useful too. The grandma says this stone mortar is sell by only here. REally? After came back in NY I could easily find a stone mortar at a popular mexican restaurant and funny thing is all the design was exactly same. Grandma was right. Only problem is that I was thinking it's very useful but too heavy to clean it every single time so eventually be more useful for display purposes. What else I could buy? La paz! Yes, La paz is best product in San cristobal. Last day in my trip, with beautiful la paz ring and super heavy luggage I went to domestic airport to go back to mexico city. Again, I was very jealously I had to leave alone. Little childish and stupid emotion shake me so much. Ah~ When will come again? Perhaps would try to come back soon it's because Mexico is like a big onion. Peel it out, peel it out,, I can discover new things again and again. Adios~
