We left San Cristobal about 6:30 am. In Mexico you might only have 120 miles to go to where you want to stay for a while. But --------You probably average about 30 mph. You have topes (speed bumps) at every small town. You have twisty winding roads. You have slow trucks. You have disappearing parts of the road, Washed away by the heavy rains.

As you travel you realize you are in Chapis ---Zapatistas country   in 1994 there was a lot of
uprising in this state. There are still signs all over, but the Mexican military came in and are patrolling so things are more peaceful now than in 1994.

It is a bit eery when you are traveling a new country. And you are headed for jungle!!!
They work very hard here to keep the jungle from taking over the highways again.
It is beautiful, mountains and hills. Then we came to AGUA AZUL oh my, wish you were here.
