One Terrific week with Ines

As some of you know, Ines and I had a week long vacation together around Chiapas. I think her blog (click “Mein Fraulein” on the right column) summarizes the trip very well although I thought I would just add some pictures. My favorite part was the Chiflon waterfalls where we had no expectations because it is not in the guidebook and found ourselves at the top after an hour´s hike dripping wet and surrounded by rainbows.

Who´d a´thought i´d get the white horse! This was taken after our ride to the indigenous town of Chamula and before we realized we could not walk. See, her horse was biting every other horse the whole time. It fit her personality well though!

Chiflon. Note that rainbows don´t come out in Sepia mode. We had individually climbed to the higher deck where the water raced around us.


If Ines were Mayan this would translate to a lazy Friday on her back porch. The clouds were not friendly and 10 minutes later we were caught in a bad rainstorm on the opposite end of the ruins without a plantain leave to be found for shelter.

Agua Azul (blue water), literally Agua brown this time of year but it was a nice walk in a trip infiltrated by water in one form or another.
