  1. Great pix. How about a year-end collection of all the photos? I’d love to be able to share them with friends and family both here in MX and abroad.

  2. Chiapas is the most underrated state in MX. Why folks want to go to highrise hotels in a big city full of crime just for a beach are missing the best of MX. Chiapas also has crime but not from the cartels. They are soooo poor, they will do anything for a peso.
