The nearby city of Tuxtla Gutierrez has an excellent zoo which has won awards for the size of it's animal enclosures (only downside being that it's hard to see anything)! We went down for the day with Enrique, Mariet, Pablo & Itamar.
Daisy particularly liked seeing the big cats, but towards the end it all got a bit much.
We stopped off at Chiapa de Corzo on the way back for a large plate of seafood shared between us, though I have to say the crabs were a lot of work for not much meat.
The next day we travelled to the nearby town of Teopisca, where our friends Sofia & Raul have a small ranch with six dogs, two cats, no rabbits (dogs ate them), a vegetable patch (doing well now the rabbits have gone), a small wood and a pig.
Both Sofia & Raul studied in Mexico City and now they're running the children's project and another project for older students. Raul has a collection of musical instruments that rather enchanted our daughter. Rosie also says he reminds her of Mr Tumnus!
Daisy continues to eat well and is willing to try almost anything now.
We have moved upstairs to the flat above, which is much lighter, quieter and generally 'mucho mas mejor' (much more better).
