Friends, we accept that we’ve been awfully ignorant about our blog recently.

But in the last three days we have been so badly in a rush that it feels like three weeks. Maya villages… They are awesome. They are so genuine, so interesting, so open and in the same time so closed that anyone would be amazed. We are…

Zapatistas… We used to love them and follow them like they were one of us. But now that we’ve got to know them, our love and respect grew bigger. Now we hail to them.

San Cristobal is so much of a beautiful and attractive city that it absorbed us completely.  :)

The carnival… We are very lucky to have arrived here at a time of carnival. We have seen so many interesting rituals, listened to so many interesting tunes, witnessed so many beautiful things.

And then there is this 2012 issue. We have learned a good deal about it. Metin used to take it as a joke anyway, but he loosened himself even more about it. Fikret, as an engineer, used to analyse it. Nur had been the only one who had wholeheartedly never given a damn about it, and she still doesn’t.

The only thing to worry about is that rakı flowed away. We are short of our stock. It’s heartbreaking to know that we have to use it economically.

Oh, yes. We have one more thing to worry about: we may not be giving the events their worth while reporting. Now we are tired but in the next twenty-four hours we will detail everything about the Maya villages, Zapatistas, and the new friends we’ve got to know, and add lots of photos.
