December Tour Day 2

We spend the day showing our visitors San Cristobal (when we can prise them away from playing with Daisy). We visit the market and see live chickens, people selling handmade tortillas and the slightly smelly meat market (though perfectly reliable - it's where our meat for the lasagne comes from). Mum says it reminds her of her childhood.


We also go for a slightly unsuccessful Mexican meal. We order specialities from enchiladas to mole (a savoury sauce with chocolate) and chiliquiles. They don’t like any of it, and much prefer the chicken risotto we cook in the evening.

The real high point of the day is when our taxi driver friend Mario manages to retrieve Bel and Dave’s luggage from Tuxtla – we didn’t really believe it was ever going to turn up.


Daisy enjoys her new presents from her family – stacking cups and a rattle that squeaks, And even more she enjoys the attention that is being lavished on her – even having an audience for bathtime is apparently fun.
