San Cristobal never felt so good!!!!

Well today was crazy! After over a week of Isabella being disasembled we finally got out of Guatemala and rolled our way into Mexico. We started the day calling a tow truck. The idea was to pay for the somewhat expensive tow to the border, then push the car across the Mexican border and call another tow truck through our insurace to San Cristobal de las Casas. Things went absolutely flawless... The push over the border was more like a coast down hill for over two miles. We rolled our way in with a full van, no motor, and semy decent breaks. It was wild. THe call to the insurace agency was like a baby walk to a solution. The tow truck showed up less than two hours later and we were on our way to a mechanic that actually knows what he is doing. We arrived late and had already called ahead and organized a place to park. We have been to this mechanic three times already and he came recomeded by Pedro Cafe our local Zapatista enthusiast. The family greated us at 10pm with open arms and smiling faces. We all pushed the car in together as a team assembled in one random moment. We gathered our things and headed for the door with tantos, muchas gracias´s, and began our walk to a nearbye hostel. Halfway down the street two bicycle´s come speeding up to us and it is the two boys of the family. Everytime we have come to the mechanics we usually spend a good amount of time with the two kids. The poor guy has almost hit the ground hard trying out the skateboard. Well I told him earlier that I it was my birthday and he had come to give me a gift. It was a hand crafted slinky stick snake. Equiped with carved rattle to protruding metel tounge. It was absolutely touching and I walked on to find a hostel and enjoy a hot shower. Its nice when things work out huh......
