I´m at the first virus-free public computer. And it´s fast. Bueno.

Last night I got pretty drunk. Had a really good time. The beer here is called Gallo. It´s much like Mexican beers (DosEquis, Corona).

First, the electricity goes out here all the time for like 1/2 hour. It went out twice at the restaurant last night and once at the bar. All the tables have candles at them, so everything goes on as normal and then everyone cheers when the lights turn on. So I have been warned to save long emails to disk.

I forgot to write that when I stayed at the campsite it was in the Lacandon jungle with real Lacandones!!! (sarcasm). The Lacandones are an indigineous group. You can tell they´re Lacandones because they wear white robes. The robes look kind of like choir robes but shorter with short sleeves. So all the children and adults wear these robes and they all have longish hair. Recognizing that I am culturally insensitive, it was like INCREDIBLY cult like. (I´m posting now incase the electricity goes).
