The pastor´s classes continue and so does language school and all the errands we are running today. We are also checking into internet access for our house in Chenalho. It seems the prices are becoming more reasonable, and it would be a lot more convenient since we are limited to only using this service in San Cristobal and Tuxtla. Russell will be purchasing more blankets today.

We thought we had left Mardi Gras in Louisiana when we came to Chiapas. But Carnaval de Chamula is being celebrated today and looks very similar to the folklore style Mardi Gras of Mamou and Iota. The costumes here are even a little more elabrate. It is a Chamula custom and people were driving to San Juan Chamula by the truck loads this morning. Literally, the truck loads! Many of you have seen them. They transport people standing up in the back of a truck like cargo, but it doesn´t seem to bother the people here at all. They appreciate their means of transportation.
