imaginary husband

so i´m now wearing my fake wedding band.
it´s pretty annoying that a wedding band gives you a certain amount of respect when travelling alone here. the feminist in me would rather not bother, but my practicality wins over on this one.

there are times to make political statements. while staying alone in a small mexican town is not one of them. i´ve also had about enough of disaproving responses to traveling sola.

anyhoo.... i´m liking this weird little place. many women (mostly older) wear long bright coloured skirts, which apparently is traditional to this region.

this is definitely a shift from puerto escondido! i´m happy for it though. the party place was fun to experience, but it´s not the mexico i came here for. already, in the past 24 hrs, i´ve had to speak more spanish than the whole week i was in escondido.
my ´getting around´ language is much more effective than it used to be, but i still feel like an idiot trying to have conversations most of the time.

i stay in this town for one more night, then into chiapas.
i was warned against giant cockroaches in this place right before i came here... so you can guess how much sleep i got last night....
i eventually turned the light on and covered my face so that i could sleep. weird dreams ensued.

well, i´m off to the market to get stared at some more.... wheeee!
