On the Road to Bonampak

This morning, we were all awakened to a couple of howler monkeys who decided to shake up our quiet rainforest site. If you’ve never heard a howler monkey before, imagine an asthmatic elephant. A very, very disgruntled asthmatic elephant. I think the monkeys must’ve eaten the 24 bird. Haven’t heard from him in awhile.

We left our rainforest paradise at 7am for San Cristóbal. A hut-in-the-wall place, which was basically some thatched logs on the side of the road, gave us the best breakfast we’ve had so far: Fresh fruit and fruit juice, tortillas with eggs, rice, and beans, sugar bread, and homemade queso. Another long ride in the (air-conditioned, cushion-seated) tour bus, and we’ll be off on our next adventure!
