After an 11 hour bus trip, I arrived in San Cristobal de las Casas at 7 AM, had two cups of coffee from a street vendor and took a taxi to a hostel.
My last visit to this city was in 1992, two days before the start of a Zapatista mini revolution to protest the living conditions/poverty/quality of life of the indigenous people of Chiapas.
Rather than send in troops to quell the rebellion, the government negotiated over the group's reasonable demands.
